Original announcement and invite:
Announcing “Empty Nest”, a solo show of kinetic sculptures and more by Edmond van der Bijl, opening March 13th at The Affinity Lab:

Empty Nest:
It takes 41 days to create an empty nest.

“Empty Nest” focuses on a series of suspended kinetic sculptures that are handmade from plastic cable ties and replicate organic forms found in nature.

The resulting structures are visually accessible graphic pieces that exist within a functioning workspace.
