some of us are quite boring

ABC News has a story about a man cited by authorities after coming too close to a luxury liner with his replica of a 1775 submarine. I thought this quite interesting in itself. But the man also also happens to have a website, with some interesting material on it (e.g., his artist statement). Here’s the description of one of his early projects:

From 1992 to 1997, I lived and worked in an 8 by 10 foot pigeon coop constructed out of a widow’s walk on the roof of an old dilapidated building in Providence, RI. I shared the space with both domestic and street pigeons. A series of assemblages made with materials collected directly from the site and some photo documentation are all that remains of, what I now regard as my first conceptual performative and multimedia project. 

I’m not quite sure whether this confirms the guy’s insanity or whether I should admire his discipline, fortitude, and so on (and I like birds and am quite accustomed to proximity to bird excrement from my days on the farm).
