Plume by Jean-Marc Rivalland

In this sculpture, the artist drew on his experiences of everyday walks in nature with his dog, picking up feathers shed by birds. The five feathers featured in the work represent red and white-tailed black cockatoos, New Holland honeyeaters, magpies and the white-bellied sea eagle. Artist Statement: ‘This work was inspired by these delicate objects that are a component of wings which create flight. These totemic-like sculptures take inspiration from the structure of feathers and their varied colours and patterns.’
