Emily Valentine Bullock Plumed Pets Jan 26 - Feb 18 2024
Emily Valentine Bullock Feathers are Emily Valentine Bullock’s paint. She has developed her own technique using feathers and uses road kill where possible. Her work shows sympathy with the bird’s previous life and creates a new life form. Have attitudes to wearing dead animals and bird parts changed? Emily thinks not and hopes to stimulate the viewer to question our callous treatment of birds and animals and consider how we sub-consciously classify them – pet or pest, valued or worthless, beautiful or plain and why? Care of work Preen the feathers with a small dry brush to remove dust. Dampen brush if feathers are stubborn or dust sticky. Spray with fly spray (Insect repellent) once or twice a year after dusting. Or put in freezer for at least 24 hours. Observe the work for dropping feathers. The feathers can be attacked by insects e.g. moths. Do not place directly under lights that may attract insects. Dyed feathers may fade if in direct sunlight or strong lighting. Moth balls or camphor can be used when the work is in storage. When cared for, the work should have a long life and provide a great deal of enjoyment.
