Nature Pods, by Sean Whalley an outdoor installation made with a steel armature covered in branches and twigs, is a re-examination of the park space it sits on. While inhabiting its locale it is also a quiet challenge to re-imagine our disposal and use of bio waste and our ways of inhabiting urban spaces. Though trimming and clearing hedges, bushes and trees may be undertaken to remove old material or dead-fall, it also clears the natural hiding spaces and homes of animals living in Urban Environments. Nature Pods gently suggests there are more creative ways to live within and to make living spaces in-tune with the environment and are in harmony with earth’s natural cycles.
