Artwork Description

Galah reflection: Precious water

0.0 x 0.0

An artist is often influenced by environmental factors, this was my reaction to hearing about Cape Town, South Africa severe water shortages. When we arrived in Australia it was at the end of a 10 year drought and seeing wild cockatoos drinking water and knowing their survival depended on this water made me realise that water is indeed more precious than gold. The reflection of this delightful girl (the females have red eyes after a certain age) was perfectly mirrored in the water, indeed the only ripples were created by her putting her whole head into the water. 61cm x 61cm x 3.5cm.
