湖北省宜昌市第一中学2018-2019学年高二上学期英语期中考试试卷
Scholastic Art: What is your job?
Jayson Fann: I build human-sized nests all over the world.
SA: Can people sit in your nests?
JF: Yes! People have dinner parties in my nests. They read and relax in them. Some of my nests even have several rooms. My nests are even used as hotel rooms.
SA: How do you make a nest?
JF: First, I make a design for the nest. Then I review the design with my client（客户）. After the design is final, I collect wood and work with a team to build it.
SA: What do you use to make your nests?
JF：I use eucalyptus（按树）wood， which is soft and easy to bend when it is young and freshly cut. But when it dries, it becomes extremely hard. So it holds its shape and can support weight. But the structure's strength also comes from the engineering -- how I weave the wood, and how I join major sections by bolting（用螺栓固定）them together.
SA: What makes a great nest design?
JF: Placement is important. The lines of the branches（树枝） create movement and energy, resulting in a cleaner, simpler background -- such as smooth stone or the sky -- which really fits the nest. For me, it's all about balance.
SA: What skills do you need for your job?
JF: You have to be able to draw and use different artistic tools. But you also have to know how to speak to people -- your clients and the people who work for you.
SA: What inspires you?
IF: I love to see how other artists, like Andy Goldsworthy, take common and natural materials and make something special with them.
SA: What is the best part of your job?
JF: I get to be creative in a way that doesn't harm the environment!
