Floating Feather
The bronze sculpture titled “Floating Feather,” was crafted with inspiration from a birds feather its weightless nature and physical structure. To achieve the desired effect, I sculpted five feathers that appear to be suspended in mid-air, creating a stop-motion sequence that captures the moment of descent before settling on the water’s surface. To enhance the sculpture’s fluidity and sensory experience, water is pumped up inside the feathers, allowing water to trickle out slowly along the edges, producing a soft and soothing sound. The final installation is placed in the farm’s dam, adding an organic and harmonious element to the surrounding environment. The spiral structure is used to create a contrast between the weighty bronze material and the airy delicacy of falling feathers, ultimately amplifying the sculpture’s sense of weightlessness.
As a conceptual artist, I am invited by clients to visit their homes and engage with them and their surroundings. Through this process of observation and interaction, I am able to conceive an idea and a concept for a work of art that resonates with the client and holds significance and meaning. As a result, the artwork transcends being a mere purchase of art from a gallery, and becomes instead, a creation that holds personal meaning.
