The romance I can think of is lifting weights ||| The first time I saw the work of British sculptor - Kate McGuire, I was totally blown away Her sculptures do not use traditional mud, plaster, copper, etc as elements, but soft feathers as the creative medium It broke my imagination of feather material
In her works, layers of feathers shine like jewels, and the shapes give people a weird feeling like the aliens in classical mythology the combination of beautiful feathers and grotesque shapes creates a certain kind of atmosphere around the works this level of 《gravitational field》creates a feeling of being both seduced and alienated
Recently, the Scotch whiskey brand Royal Salute and Kate jointly launched the first masterpiece of the luxury collection limited series - "Forces of Nature" The Force of Nature project is called Paragon, Plethora and Protean In 《Force of Nature》, she was inspired by the king bird, and for the first time introduced the element of copper in her creation.
Among them, the limited series of 21 sets in the world includes a bottle of 53-year-old Scotch whiskey that pays homage to the birth of the Royal Salute in 1953 and a limited sculpture “model” made of carefully selected pheasant feathers each bottle is decorated with feathers hand-carved by master craftsmen and hand-plated with 24K gold, which is extremely exquisite and noble he bottle body is also inspired by Kate's sculptures the sinuous and flexible sculptural shape and the glittering bottle body; the soft and elegant feathers and the noble and bright golden feathers, here the Royal Salute Luxury Art Collection Limited Series Scotch Whiskey and Kate's art work have reached a perfect harmony and unity
