"Reach out to a kindred interconnection of a DNA coding inherent within the forgotten strands of essential mankind".
Presenting a sequence of works exploring our relationship to the native bird species of N.Z. suggesting a similarity in character trait and circumstance alluding to a 'bi-nature' effect. Images draw attention to the physical alterations and adornments we commit our bodies to through practices such as piercing, scarification, tattoo and implants. Suspended figures drift by perched from a hoop, an apparatus required to maintain altitude and remind us of the physical restriction we face as earthbound bipeds. The pared back colour palette renders an ethereal, dreamy quality and suggests to the viewer that to connect wholly with the works, one must delve deep.
