Trained first as an anthropologist, artist Rebecca Jewell spent one of the most formative years of her life in Papua New Guinea in 1982.
Her work is based on printed bird feathers with the most recent exhibition, Migrating Artefacts, at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery. the new work integrates the feathers with structures from Oceana as well as nets used to catch migrating birds.

Oh, and rest assured, all feathers are gathered from moulting birds with no living creatures harmed in the production of this work.
