[2023江西五市九校第二次联考]The beauty f a single pheasant’s feather （野鸡羽毛） caught Nick Orr’s eye and inspired him t prduce smething unique.
The art f the miniaturist （微型画画家） invites us t lk at the familiar in a new way by reimagining it n a different scale.

Orr explains， "One day my daughter asked fr sme pheasant’s feathers. It made me lk at them and see hw beautiful they were and I thught what a waste nt t create smething with them."

"It is as difficult t design the feather as it is t cut it ut. The feather is my canvas and it is such a small canvas t wrk n — less than 3cm — and a very particular shape. Everything I depict must fit int that."
"I see birds s differently nw. Nw I see the feathers first and then see the bird. I will think abut hw I can recreate it n a feather."
Each individual feather is treated differently， with the feather itself playing a majr part in the design f the eventual image. "Once I have an idea fr a picture， I will start t sketch an verall utline n paper， at the same time I’ll think abut hw it will fit a particular feather. I lve the idea that I take a feather frm a bird that mst peple think f as the ugliest n the planet and turn it int smething beautiful."
