Catalogue Note
"[The] peacock feathers and driftwood relate to a Northern California aesthetic of the 1960s and early 1970s...Her work alludes to the ethos of that time by incorporating artifacts that symbolize its Utopian aspirations of connecting the natural and the man-made." (Exh. Cat., New York, Museum of Modern Art, Carol Bove: The Equinox, 2011)
