Add to basketPaperback. Condition: As new, shrinkwrapped. First Edition. 21 x 26cm as new, shrinkwrapped exhibition catalogue. The title Lure is a dual reference to the ring of feathers used by a falconer to call and command their birds, and to the siren-like call of the work itself. It evokes the combination of our fascination with the irid…escent, exotic specimens on display and the desire to look closer in spite of the disquieting atmosphere they create. MccGwire s work uses the language of nature s forms to construct impossible creatures, pitting the beauty of a bird in flight against our instinctive revulsion to these unnatural forms in close proximity. Their feathers are both alluring and abject, and appeal to our subjective experience as we confront the breathless, convoluted structures. Her sculptures exist in the periphery between the living and the dead, challenging our perceptions of the authentic and the imaginary.

Add to basketCard covers, stapled spine. Condition: Very good. First Edition. 21 x 30cm very good card-covered exhibition catalogue. 'MccGwire is fascinated by dramatic opposites such as beauty and revulsion, the unwholesome and ordered, the familiar and alien, and her unusual choice of feathers as a medium provides an arresting visual langu…age with which to explore such ideas. She uses pigeon feathers, for example, as they embody a particularly contradictory reputation. Popularly known as 'rats with wings', pigeons are considered dirty and carriers of disease. Meanwhile, white doves they are in fact the same species as pigeons are regarded as symbols of peace, purity and fertility. Depending on the context, they either attract or repulse us. By elevating moulted pigeon feathers a natural waste product to the rank of art MccGwire perfectly communicates this duality.' With black and white, plus some colour reproductions.
