Fabricated steel feather sculpture floating in the Silver River. Sculpture commission by Kevin O'Dwyer

Floating Feather series

Corten steel

The Floating Feather series is a striking minimalist sculpture by Irish artist and sculptor Kevin O'Dwyer, gracefully suspended above the Silver River. Designed to float visually above the water’s surface, the elongated feather shape casts shifting reflections, creating a poetic dialogue between metal, light, and nature. Evoking the themes of lightness, freedom, and transformation, the sculpture draws inspiration from the natural movement of feathers in air and water. As part of O'Dwyer’s site-responsive practice, the Floating Feather series invites contemplation of the river’s flow and the delicate balance between the physical and the ethereal. Perfectly at home in both contemporary sculpture parks and natural landscapes, the work embodies O'Dwyer’s signature fusion of minimalism, craft, and environmental awareness.
