Rising Up
An imagined scene of the last of the New Zealand native birds migrating across a vast sky to find a new home. Our birds are leaving and they're taking their luggage with them (suitcase stickers state: 'No Plan B' and 'Rapture' - which is upside down). Birds shown are: Kokako, Grey Heron and being carried due to the fact that it can't fly, the Kiwi. The threat of loss is portrayed by the eternal, horizonless sky with no landing place (none that is depicted) but with a hope for the future in the majestically coloured clouds - a dream state, a whimsy but also an aspiration for a better life.
