Tiger Feather Altar – Katharine T. Jacobs

$1,500.00

A feather set down like an offering, wildflowers gathered close, the whole thing printed in sunlight. Katharine presses real botanicals to watercolor paper, lets the sun and the chemistry do their slow work, and lifts away a cyanotype in that deep, holy blue—bone-white where the plants lay, Prussian blue everywhere the light got through.

Currently on display at Blue Bee Cider, this piece reads like a small altar because that's what it is. A study in softness, survival, and paying close attention to the wild things most people walk past.
