Alone Time (NZ Fantail)
dimensions: 600x800mm
This piece is inspired by my personal encounters with our cheeky native bird; The Fantail. They are curious little things, jittering about creating mischief. I often discover these birds whilst trying to have some quiet time. I personally believe (Like with sparrows) that Fantails are brought to us from the spirit world. A kind of messenger.
So the image of the girl, sitting, thinking, contemplating or perhaps enjoying her moment with her little visitor. Much like when a fantail visits me, I always say "Hi Grandpa!"
This began as a drawing exposed onto a silk screen, then printed onto perspex allowing me to create shadows as the perspex is floated within the frame. As light casts its glow over the image a shadow appears creating movement, depth and in turn 'Life' . This is a limited edition of 10 only and only 4 left.
The Fantail is reverse hand painted which means each edition is unique to each other as I cant paint the bird exactly the same.
