Hello Birdie-birdhouse entry donation for silent auction to benefit Uplift Austin

"CITYSIT 2009"--- Urban space for silent songbirds.  An open ended nest formed from transparent lines and opaque circles.  A gathering of sanded acrylic remnants from our 911 launch scattered and fused around floating repurposed pipes.

He who sleeps in continual noise is wakened by silence. 
--- William Dean Howells 

Everything is Song. Everything is Silence. Since it all turns out to be illusion, perfectly being what it is, having nothing to do with good or bad, you are free to die laughing. 
---James Broughton 

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. 
--- Dalai Lama
