The story
Feathers built up in relief until the panel stopped being a surface. Graphite greys overlap like a folded wing, with three feathers left in gold so the eye has somewhere to land.
Technique
Each feather is sculpted in modelling paste, combed with a needle while wet, then washed in silver-grey and sealed in matte black between the quills. Gold leaf laid last, only where the light already collected.
Inspiration
A magpie wing found on a winter path — armour that turned out to weigh nothing.
