This talk by art historian Dr Isobel Elstob, University of Nottingham, will explore how contemporary British artists have used bones, feathers and other organic material to create new sculptural forms.
Kate MccGwire’s feather installations will be discussed alongside works by Tessa Farmer, Alastair and Fleur Mackie and Polly Morgan.
