The piece is designed to arise a playful tension. The concept deals with the humor of oxymoron. The anvil is such a strong and masculine object and feathers are feminine and delicate.
These two combined create a mix of materials and references that cause the audience to puzzle over the contrast. I chose to use black feathers in order for the anvil to appear at first glance as a hard iron steel but as the viewers get closer the feathers are visible and the lightness of the piece is experienced.
