peacock feathers on linen, laid on board, in Plexiglas frame
Carol Bove's work presents an arrangement of iridescent peacock feathers delicately laid against a textured linen ground, mounted on board and encased within a sleek Plexiglas frame. The piece plays with themes of natural beauty, artifice, and preservation, allowing the feathers' lustrous ocular patterns to shimmer and shift with changing light. The layering of organic material within a clinical, protective enclosure creates a tension between the wild and the contained.
