In Local Impact I wanted to capture some of the diverse wildlife we stand to lose in Australia if the government doesn’t update their conservation policies to be in line with advice from environmental experts. All species of flora and fauna in the piece are critically endangered, with the three animals (numbat, orange-bellied parrot, and corroboree frog) from different parts of the country. The species of flowers are all native to the Kamberri region and available at local nurseries to grow in your backyard (Swainsona recta, Leucochrysum albicans subsp. tricolour, Muehlenbeckia Tuggeranong, Caladenia actensis, Rutidosis leptorhynchoides). My hope is to inspire viewers to act- whether that be applying pressure to the government or planting endangered plants in your garden.
Please note, this artwork is currently on exhibition at Belconnen Arts Centre and will not be available for pick-up or delivery until the exhibition has closed. Please check the Belco Arts website for exhibition dates.
