Except in this story it’s the brave young woman that goes off to fight the war she never should have and of course changing everyone’s world forever.  Not the narrative you quite expect but more a sweet and tender love letter to Guillaume’s memories cast in the shadow of turbulent times.

Dillon Marsh: Sociable Weaver Birds Nests

June 26, 2013 — Leave a comment

In the vast Kalahari Dillon Marsh found some epic bird nests in a series he calls: Assimilation

 

In the vast barren landscapes of the southern Kalahari, Sociable Weaver Birds assume ownership of the telephone poles that cut across their habitat.Their burgeoning nests are at once inertly statuesque and teeming with life. The twigs and grass collected to build these nests combine to give strangely recognizable personalities to the otherwise inanimate poles.
