​​​​Visual artist and featherworker, birds are both the subject and the material of my work. Through feathers I explore the relationships between the living and the non-living and the power dynamics that shape them. This research takes form through textiles, feathers and printed matter.​ Birds fascinate me because they have always embodied humanity's dreams. Today, they also reveal humanity's impact on biodiversity.

 

My works emerge from processes of collecting, sorting, and classifying inspired by scientific methods and inventory practices. I create forms that move between specimen, landscape and artifact.​ Used as adornment, commodity, trophy, or symbol of prestige, the feather carries a rich material and cultural history that informs my work.

 

I work exclusively with reclaimed feathers sourced from second-hand pillows (goose and duck) or collected in urban environments (pigeon and parakeet). Silent witnesses to transformation and disappearance, feathers both reveal and conceal the bodies to which they once belonged. Through them, I seek to make visible forms of presence that usually escape our attention.
