Bone, hair, loom, concrete | Dimensions variable
Having swallowed its prey whole, the barn owl’s digestive system extracts nutrients, while indigestible parts are regurgitated as a compressed pellet.
Over the course of one year, pellets were collected and processed into their raw components of hair and bone. The hair was spun into yarn and woven into a three-by-one-metre sheet of fabric. The skeletons serve as its counterpart.
