peacock feathers on linen in Plexiglas frame
2008
Carol Bove's work presents an arrangement of iridescent peacock feathers delicately laid against a natural linen ground, encased within a clean Plexiglas frame. The piece plays with the tension between the organic, ornate beauty of the feathers and the cool, modernist containment of its display structure. Bove's signature interest in found objects and aesthetic systems transforms a simple gesture of preservation into a meditation on desire, decoration, and the nature of collecting.
