Feather invasion
February 18th, 2012 § 7 Comments
Kate MccGire is an extreme talented artist based in London. Her practice probes the beauty inherent in duality, exploring the play of opposites – at an aesthetic, intellectual and visceral level – that characterises the way we conceive the world. She does this by appealing to our essential duality as human beings, to our senses and our reason, and by drawing on materials capable of embodying a dichotomous way of seeing, feeling and thinking. The finished work has a consistent ‘otherness’ to it that places it beyond our experience of the world, poised on a threshold between the parameters that define everyday reality.
Serously, her feather sculptures are something else!
” I gather, collate, re-use, peel, burn, reveal, locate, question, duplicate, play and photograph.” Kate MccGire

They seem to be in fluid feathered motion, transforming and reshaping themselves. If you reached out to touch them they would slip away smoothly against your palm…
I think photos four and five were an installation in a National Trust property her in the UK, not an institution that is renowned for such things. They are so fluid, best not to think about the birds (if you are a vegetarian!!)
Freaky! I would love to see how this was made. Nice post!
Looks as though the tactile qualities would be amazing – like tubular feathery serpents. I love it!
