One man’s trash is another bird’s home. Boise State University Art and Design student Grace Ott created "One Man’s Trash" as an introspective on the birds that adapt to our landfills and how their ecosystem has consequently evolved. Responding to the statistic from the City of Boise’s Climate Action Roadmap describing the average amount of waste from each Boise household per month, Ott’s work features a Cooper’s hawk on its nest atop a 138-pound pile of trash. The Art Port Project is in collaboration with BSU’s ART 334 Assembled Form class and in partnership with the City of Boise’s Department of Public Works.
