My installation at Artists on the Walkpath 2015

Using small scissors I created one hundred duct tape 

and twist tie feathers and attached them to fishing line with crimps.

Just installed and looking pretty blowing in the wind

Artist Statement

My installation references the restoration project at Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary. This project renews my hope that as individuals and communities we are taking action to help the environment and future survival of native fauna.

Artists on the Walkpath: Bayswater Birds

Artists on The Walkpath 2014

I am pleased to announce that I have been selected for the City of Bayswater’s annual outdoor exhibition “Artists on The Walkpath” 2014. At this outdoor event contemporary artists create temporary sculptural or art installations out of recycled material that responds to the local environment.

Artworks will be installed along the west side path adjacent to the Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, Slade Street, Bayswater, Western Australia on the weekend of 5 and 6 April 2014.

Over the last few weeks I have been making bird sculptures using foraged material from the pathway, parklands and adjacent foreshore. The bird sculptures will be perched on the branches of the trees. Its my first outdoor sculpture installation and will be displayed the entire weekend.  I hope that I manage to secure them well. The trees of course will be unharmed during this event.

Artists on the Walkpath is sponsored by the City of Bayswater, and coincides with their Autumn River Festival held at Riverside Gardens in Bayswater.
