Lightness and weightlessness: British artist creates sculptures from feathers

To create his art projects, British sculpture Kate McKguire uses exclusively natural material - bird feathers. The artist spent all her childhood outdoors, because she grew up in a small village. Love for animals, and (namely - for birds) formed the basis of her unusual activity. For her sculptures, Kate takes only the bio-material that has already served its owner. Most often these are feathers from pigeons. But magpies and crows also become assistants in the work of McKgvaer. It is worth noting that not a single bird suffered from the actions of the craftswoman. The sculptor collects material on the streets and in parks.

Creativity Kate causes dissatisfaction with animal rights activists. However, the craftswoman insists that all her actions do not harm living beings. With his sculptures, McGuire demonstrates the aesthetics of nature and gives a second life to the material. Incredible art objects amaze the viewer with their beauty. Volumetric texture, gradient shades and color saturation emphasize the proportions formed by the artist. Gathered into a single composition, feathers with a white base create the illusion of a soft pile.

Kate's installations create the effect of powerful energy flows that fill the entire surrounding space. The well-coordinated structure and dynamics of movement, harmoniously combined with the smoothness of the curves, leaves no one indifferent.

The works of the artist are exhibited at exhibitions. Fans acquire sculptures to bring a special atmosphere to the interior of the house. On our website, interior decoration items are presented in this section.
