 Study on shadows : the west country

Study on shadows : the west country

PLUMES - the story

August 1, 2016

The rhythms and sights of a rural life in West Somerset, England : the nooks and crannies of hills and vales leading to the open landscape of the sea and the moors. The different types of winds, and the intricacy of nature's detail amid so much spaciousness.

 

Feathers are astonishing feats of engineering and operate a universal attraction – their soft weightless complexity lends itself to wonder, so much humble detail. I spent hours studying the cover feathers of a pheasant's wing – those carefully designed under-feathers usually unseen, because we only notice their combined effect in the proud plumage of a most flashy bird.
