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.
