Ready To Party features the Australian Galah, the gimp of the bird world. "Galah" is used in Australia as a derogatory term, akin to "idiot". This particular print captures my stupid excitement about escaping isolation and seeing my friends again. It's my personal favourite of the series. I think it pairs really well with Incognito.
Ready To Party is print 13 of the Cooped Up series.
This series was created during a government-enforced 14 day period of isolation over June and July of 2021. After returning home from making a TV show interstate, each day I produced a different bird which reflected in some way, that day's experience.
This two-colour signed and numbered print is limited to a run of 50. It is hand-cut and hand-sprayed on archival quality, acid free, 224gsm paper. As such, each piece is unique, with its own individual (im)perfections. The lightly grained textured paper is made in France and approximately measures 32cm x 32cm. It is sold unframed and is shipped flat-packed in a rigid envelope.
