This is Cassowary Country - exhibition

Cairns Regional Gallery - 11 April - 25 May, 2009
Themes in this work relate to the cassowary being a keystone species within the rainforest and other aspects of its relationship with its environment. Content of imagery and texts is drawn from actual cassowary plant foods and by using the computer, images have been worked and reworked to articulate issues while retaining desired aesthetic qualities. Working with applied decals and other mark making techniques, I have integrated the imagery with the form to become more than just surface. This group exhibition in multi media aims to highlight the precarious state of the local cassowary population.
