Kate MccGwire

Artist Kate Mccgwire has created a series of amazing installations using pigeon feathers.




The way the feathers are arranged is reminiscent of some of Andy Goldsworthy's work with leaves, but the use of feathers is more unsettling for some reason. The biological aspect perhaps, or the associations with taxidermy.

One feather found on a walk is something pretty to take home and admire. Displaying more feathers than one bird could possibly carry is repulsive.

I cannot wait to incorporate some of this imagery into a short story.
