Bowerbird by Firedrake
Firedrake

Bowerbird by

The closest thing to a political piece I have managed so far.

The bowerbird constructs an arch-shaped ‘bower’ out of twigs and brush, decorated with trinkets (usually blue) to impress others.

What do you feather your nest with?

30×25cm, watercolour/pastel/ink on canvas.

By the way, those are not easter eggs. Nope. No chocolate in there.
