A painting created of blue acrylic paint and cleaned goose feathers applied onto canvas. The large, rectangular canvas is completely covered in cobalt blue paint applied evenly over both the feathers and the canvas, creating an artwork that is monochromatic yet multidimensional in texture. Some of the feathers extend beyond the borders of the canvas. The artwork is unframed.
