Gigantic Human Nests

These Massive Wooden Structures by Jayson Fann are Startling

— July 11, 2012 — Art & Design
If humans were a little bit more bird-like, they might find themselves sleeping in these tree-sized nests by artist Jayson Fann.

Created using a process similar to that of birds, these massive structures are created with both fallen and cut-off branches of trees. Woven together in a way that creates the nest-like appearance of these artistic playgrounds, these are both visually interesting and unexpected. Unpolished in the best way possible, these boast a natural-looking aesthetic and look surprisingly seamless amongst their outdoor surroundings.

A strong argument for taking cues from nature, this modern-meets-rustic artistic endeavor is bound to gain Fann some well-deserved praise. Sure to go viral on the web for their staggering looks, these wildly creative nests are destined for fame, and will likely make Jayson Fann a big name.
