I
often marvel at our ability to fly, ancient hunter gathers on the African plains
must have envied the birds ability to simply fly off when confronted by a lion.
In
my work I often use birds and planes together as a symbol of man’s ability to
invent a plane and join the birds.
I
also sit in awe as I watch the birds - large and small - fly so effortlessly
around our farm and at the moment all the male fairy wrens are in their bright
blue plumage.
This
painting with its old wallpaper and over-sized toy plane is a nostalgic vision
drawn from my childhood, where our garden was always visited by blue wrens and
I can clearly recall the thrill of seeing them flitting through the low
shrubbery. GT
