The Feather Collector | Exhibition

Feathers, shells, twigs — these elements can be found on subsequent canvases, in small installations suspended under the gallery ceiling, and in colorful, totem-like objects, presented as a part of The Feather Collector exhibition at Valletta Contemporary. These afterimages of experience and inspiration, brought back from various journeys, stem from the peculiar assortment of items gathered by the eponymous ‘collector’. They reflect a sensibility rooted in mythology, which from the dawn of human culture has been intimately linked to artistic and aesthetic consciousness.
