Building decent sized pigeon coop for the flock in the Catskill Mountains, upstate New York USA. Summer 2020.
Most all these pigeons were born on our rooftop in Brooklyn over the last several years. They've taken to this mountain air happily.
The design and execution of pigeon architecture is an underground movement present in all corners of the globe; championed by bird-loving amateur carpenters. This school of architecture is an ever-ripe exploration of bricolage; an art of making do and getting by with local material and vernacular. An art of repair, repair, repair. An art of gettin tossed around by mother nature.
