ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Inspired by a Willie Wagtail which boldly flitted between my relatively colossal-proportioned feet to forage for crumbs from my lunch. Willie Wagtail is one of Australia's most widespread species and native bird, also known in the indigenous language as Chitti-chitti. There is a Noongar Aboriginal story that tells of how the Willy Wagtail was robbed of its catch by a crow and dingo, and this angered it so much that it still attacks animals bigger than itself. They also appear to dart around wagging its tail from side to side (so its name suggests) while foraging, like a gossip-monger as the Indigenous believe it to be. This behaviour makes it hard to miss.

Artist's Website: www. (Check out our fundraising campaigns, more artworks, or follow our blogposts!) --- I'm a Perth-based Artist. Painting and experimenting with art in different mediums is my way of slowing down, to learn about life and the environment which surrounds us. This is especially important because we live in a speed-addicted digital age peppered with fast information and much distractions. Making art is also a reminder of what there is to love, hate or fear. My Practice: An artistic creation is like a form of conjuring, of combining observational work with personal imagination that can produce emotional and magical results. Inspiration for my current practice stems from the environment around us, whether natural and planned, and exploring the essences and metaphors that it carries. It has evolved to focus on the exploration of lightness and movement in the subject matter, in an expressive manner, through the adopting of looser, bolder strokes and colours. Depth and patterns are also typical theme in my current works. I take an experimental approach for creative process, by beginning with a broad composition in mind, to kickstart the drawing, pushing and smudging of inks, and wax, paint and other mediums around the paper or canvas. And because there is a certain degree of unpredictability in the method, adjustments are constantly made depending on how the drawing evolves and takes shape. The serendipitous results are more than often pleasantly surprising. My artistic journey and explorations are shared in my website:
