A 2021 study by BirdLife Australia and Charles Darwin University concluded that there are 216 threatened birds in Australia compared to 195 in 2010. The subject of my work is one of these birds – the Regent Honeyeater - once roaming the east coast of Australia. With around 300 of these critically endangered birds in the wild, and using aerosol and acrylic on canvas, my work represents the bird as potentially crucified on a charred timber cross, surrounded by an uncertain grey environment with positive green glimpses offering the real opportunity to repopulate the species.
