Birdwing was created in 2010 During the wet-season, which is a time when the rainforest really comes alive. Everything is growing fast , food is plentiful and the whole place is pulsating with life. The cicadas, katydids & frogs all interact together to create a never ending progressive orchestra of soundscapes. I wanted this artwork to be singing & moving & pulsating with life similiar to the forest which has inspired it. I like to think of this tropical artwork as a window into the natural world as vibrant birdwing butterflies move through the image, slowly revealing themselves as the more you look, the more you see. A summer celebration, full of singing colour gently moving in the breeze. A vivid reminder of how abundant life really is, This colourful feature peace designed to open up internal space as we listen with our eyes and allow ourselves to be absorbed into this colourful work. The Birdwing (Ornithoptera priamus) butterfly is also referred to as the Cairns Birdwing.The male birdwing is coloured in green gold and black. It is the largest species of butterfly found in Australia, where the female has a wingspan of 20cm. It has a slower, more relaxed flight than the Ulysses and it too is found in the rainforest clearings of the tropics.
