The story of Menagerie - a new exhibition by artist Kate MccGwire

Menagerie, a collection of sculptures by acclaimed British artist Kate MccGwire, and featuring a new large-scale commission, shines a spotlight on the ‘common’ bird and connects themes of nature, sustainability and art in a series of beautiful and intricate pieces in Harewood House, now open to the public 20 July - 25 October 2020.
Inspired by nature, and linking to the 50th anniversary of the Harewood Bird Garden, Kate works primarily with discarded feathers, playing with opposites and contrasts in her pieces, and she has exhibited all over the world, in addition to creating acclaimed site-specific installations within historical buildings.

I used to love collecting feathers from the fields on my early morning walks and I love the patterns of pheasant tail feathers since a child

These are amazing and totally inspiring. I hope that they are still there I want to visit Harewood to see them in person.
