When birds disappear from my neighborhood in part because of all the new housing developments, life loses some of its color.
This piece has been long in the imagining as well as the engineering. I still have a ways to go. The grey carved feather is from a true tail feather of a peacock. These tail feathers are meant to support all the colorful display feathers that grow on the back of the male peacock which we often mistakenly call “the tail”.
The boxes will have bottles with colorful feathers inside, perhaps as memories of what once was.
