Feathered Space

Feathered Space is a storybook for the pre-literate child hiding inside every adult. This intriguing story is told in drawings and designs, with a dash of wordplay. The viewer is invited to let go of linear plots and familiar characters and dive into a universe where borders are quickly lost from view and the playfulness of inner life rises to the surface. These images celebrate fun and mystery at the same time. They tantalize and amuse, drawing the reader toward fresh new states of mind. Since the early 60’s, Elaine Duncan has been painting, drawing, sculpting, and teaching art with a unique flair for the unexpected. Her work is infused with whimsy and a touch of mischief, while revealing a deep familiarity with the silence that underlies all artistic expression. More of her work can be seen at elaine-duncan.com, where prints and original paintings and drawings can be purchased; she also accepts occasional intuitive-portrait commissions through her web site.
