Let loose in the dome

Gracialouise_SLV_01

Recently, Gracia and I had the exceedingly good fortune to be able to document my giant book of birds, A Year of Southern Hemisphere Birds, in the beautiful domed La Trobe Reading Room of the State Library of Victoria, and it was a joy to see my birds soar. Here, for you, after instagram teaser, a closer look at my Kakapos, Red Knots and Crested Jays on the loose in a temporary paper forest. The chance to photograph this work before its journey to the State Library of N.S.W. served as a rewarding full stop to this big project and it left me feeling both nostalgic for what was and excited for what was to come. And so I give you, A Year of Southern Hemisphere Birds, a  closer look:

In these photos, you can see how G's explorer's narrative was woven into the book on each month's title page. It is curious for me to think of this work now in transit to its new home. It's been quite the long goodbye.

Thank-you Des for spiriting us into the library.

Read: All my pretty chickens, glide, soar, flutter, perch
Coming soon: A handful of hand-coloured individual bird portraits
