Golden Flight Feathers: Relics

21 x 9cm. Framed in a limed box frame measuring 40 x 30cm

Machine embroidered tissue paper, pigments and gilded with 24 carat gold leaf

These stitched paper feathers are time consumimg to construct and enable quiet thoughts to be part of their creation.

Hildegard of Bingen likened herself to a ‘Feather from the Breath of God’ in the 12th century. Her writing and her choral music are interesting and beautiful, and offer fractured glimpses to the work of the Lord in my life and work.
