Through the Window series elevates Australian native birds and flora to an iconic level, combining nature with elements of religious and artistic reverence. The use of gold backgrounds adds a sense of austerity and glamour, while the hand-crafted frames with sculptural canvases nod to sacred art. The inclusion of moulded clay in the frame, featuring pressed designs, enhances the texture and depth of the work. In this piece, the Blue-faced Honeyeater is portrayed in artist’s acrylics, capturing a fleeting moment in time, protected by a layer of varnish. The composition reflects a harmonious blend of the natural world and spiritual iconography, offering both visual richness and emotional resonance.
