Getting Off The Couch

This is the result of trying to separate feathers from foam of a couch from my husband Ricard´s childhood.  Originally, it was understood that the couch was stuffed with feathers, only to find that the feathers were mixed with foam.  The sight of the mixture flashed images of the Albatross birds from Midway Island, photographed by Chris Jordan..

It took me many more hours than I imagined to roughly sort two small coushions.  The dilema is the way the feathers became embedded into the foam and the foam broke into a minuscule mixture with the goose down.

Thank you artist Victoria Roestel who traded me two weeks studio space for art through La Polea Gallery project.
