Art Work Blurb


Blurb for Artwork by Gretel, Eloise and Asha

Our Artwork is a Wire Bird with feathers weaved through it, and Eggs made out of paper, water (not paper mache)  and egg shell on the outside sitting in a wire bird nest with twigs and grass weaved through it in a tree branch.
We are calling it Friction, because Friction basically means stopping stuff happening. In this case native Birds are being stopped/killed by Possums and other pests.

Another way to put it is that we need to stop Possums getting up trees and ruining our Birds habitat and life.

Please enjoy this artwork
