There is a 20x20 inch square, deep blue pillow. There is a pattern on the pillow created using hen and rooster pheasant feathers. The rooster feathers reach upwards from the bottom of the pillow--tallest in the middle to the shortest on either side. There are are hen feathers reaching from the top of the square downwards, shortest in the middle to tallest on the edges.
***Each pillow is slightly different because they are individually printed with the sun. The feathers leave a white negative image ranging in exposure of detail surrounded by deep blue. I arrange every feather on EACH textile piece--and develop the image on the fabric with sunlight. My artwork is inspired by the beauty of it's subject: feathers. The feathers come from ethically harvested wild birds; harvested by myself, my husband, or a close friend.
