LORIKEETS AND SUNFLOWERS
The Sunflowers and lorikeets series includes encaustic works and cyanotype prints.
I am a Melbourne-based artist living in an urban environment. I am a member of the Australian Bird Society and have focused on environmental issues related to endangered species of Australian birds over the past decade. Rainbow lorikeets regularly visit my backyard, where I grow sunflowers specifically for them. I document the lorikeets as they feast on the sunflowers, balancing on the tall stems.
The photographs are translated into encaustic art and works on paper, including a series of cyanotype prints featuring both sunflowers and lorikeets.
