Some people see them as symbols or signs that are addressed to them: feathers have always had something attractive about them. Artist Chris Mayard has been working with them since he was twelve years old. To him: “Feathers mark nature’s pinnacle of achievement: the intersection of function and beauty. They make flight possible; insulate against water, sun, and wind; and their colors and patterns help them hide and attract mates. Each feather is a small bit of perfection. When birds shed or discard their feathers every year, he recycles them in his art”.
