Feather Decorative Plate

The image of a feather always evokes ideas of flight, weightlessness and gossamer movement. But when we find them in nature, they are often deeply weathered and windswept. Michael Aram's Black Feather Collection celebrates the beauty that can remain in a shabby object... dark, brooding, disheveled... yet somehow alive with touch and sensuality. Each sculpture speaks of the life that came before its discovery - where it was, how high it flew, and the creatures that carried them.
