Whispering Wattlebirds

I love it when an artwork takes on a life of its own - sometimes unfolding with quiet simplicity, other times revealing intricate layers of detail. The wattlebird’s call is a constant presence in my surroundings, a wild and rhythmic symphony that fills the air. I listen, watching as they dart through the foliage, their delicate tails flickering in the shifting light, balancing effortlessly on slender branches.

Solar plate etching allows me to capture these fleeting moments with precision, while monotype printing adds a sense of depth and atmosphere, bringing the piece together in a harmonious whole.

This artwork speaks to transition - the shift from the heat of the day to the gentle hush of dusk when the last golden light lingers on the horizon. It invites you to pause, breathe, and listen - to the quiet whispers of nature that so often go unnoticed.
