Feather Wall Sculpture at a Paris Museum Gallery

5 October 2017 · Paris

A large circular wall sculpture fills the frame, its surface dense with hundreds of feather-like elements radiating outward from a dark centre. The material — feathers, or metal shaped to mirror them — catches the gallery light at every angle, pulling texture to the surface and pushing depth into the mass behind it. Shadow cast on the white wall doubles the composition: one sculpture in relief, one traced in dark grey beside it. The work is the material, and the material is the argument.
