THERE WAS SO MUCH TO SHOW YOU in last week’s post about artist Stephanie Reit‘s garden that I saved her wonderful birdhouse collection for another time. Now’s the time.
The birdhouses that dot her East Hampton backyard are both attractive as garden ornaments and well-used by the local birds.
But there’s yet another layer to Stephanie’s birdhouse fascination. Each year, around this time, she makes a whimsical sculptural assemblage in the form of a birdhouse to donate to the annual Artist and Celebrity Bird House Auction, a fundraiser for the South Fork Breast Health Coalition.
That’s this year’s delightful ‘piano’ birdhouse, above. See below for a peek at a few she’s done in the past:
