American artist Chris Maynard - a magician, a wizard, a virtuoso of fantastic transformations. He is able to turn a single feather not just into a bird, but into a whole flock of various birds. Skillful manipulation of feathers is the very work of Chris Maynard, which will be discussed today. The artist calls himself a "feather fanatic" because his collection includes boxes, packages, parcels and baskets filled with colorful, various feathers that he buys from bird watchers, collects during walks in nature, and also receives gifts from friends, acquaintances and admirers of his unusual creative works. True, before replenishing his collection with another portion of feathers, the artist conducts a thorough research to find out which bird they belonged to. Chris Maynard does not use feathers obtained by illegal or barbaric means from birds protected by law and the red book for his manipulations. Each feather is the greatest jewel, two identical feathers, like diamonds, cannot be found in the world. Therefore, it is impossible to make two absolutely identical works - each of them is individual and unique, one of a kind.
Chris Maynard spends many hours hunched over his "surgical" desk to carve bird figures, flocks and bird colonies from feathers. Surgical because he wields the instruments that are used in eye microsurgery: special scissors, forceps, clamps and scalpels. Cutting out fragile figures from bird feathers is also a kind of microsurgery, so tiny, even tiny, they can be. Moreover, when there is one feather, and there is a whole flock of birds, which would obscure the sky, if it were of real size. That is why Chris Maynard seems to be a great wizard - not every illusionist can turn one feather into a flock of birds, this is not getting a rabbit out of a hat …
Photos of Chris Maynard's creative work are used to design magazines, calendars and posters, he is invited to participate in festivals and exhibitions. The artist conducts master classes and travels a lot both around the country and abroad. You can see the portfolio of "feather fanatic" Chris Maynard on his website.
