The Nest Riverbox
The Nest Riverbox was created by artist Julia LaBay in 2014 and is located in Kiwanis Riverway Park. The Riverbox was repaired and enhanced in 2019.
The Nest Riverbox was inspired by by cliff swallow nests. The artist was drawn to the unusual shape of theses nests, the way in which they’re constructed and the fact that the birds were once a rarity in the region. While the artwork captures the element of nature, it also relates to domestic life. The artist states, “I think of the nest as a home; a place of protection from the outside world.”
Artist Julia LaBay is currently earning her Master of Fine Arts in sculpture at Bowling Green State University. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture at the University of Toledo in 2012. While the visual nature of her work varies from time to time, LaBay finds unique ways to combine materials, generally working autobiographically and metaphorically.
