Carol Bove — peacock feathers on linen
Carol Bove

peacock feathers on linen

Carol Bove's *Peacock Feathers on Linen* presents an arrangement of iridescent peacock feathers laid against the warm, textured surface of natural linen. The work plays with the tension between the ornate, richly patterned plumage and the humble simplicity of its backdrop, inviting reflection on beauty, display, and the found object. Bove's signature interest in assemblage and the poetic charge of everyday materials is evident in this quietly striking composition.
