Obviously this impressive move has left the pepper horizontal. The gesture of being poised on one foot shows they are still not in complete control.

We can see one foot partially lifted, in some kind of action, is it about to rest, sure that it is nothing to worry about, or poised like a cat ready to pounce. This bag is a tangle of Ciccada bodies, the true noise of a summer by the river, is the bird turned to hear the noise?

I have chosen to copy the size of his prints, the tongue in cheek humour and the black and white paired-down style of his works. “With a pencil” celebration edition plays with the detritus of human fun, all various elements and recognisable of people partying. Their interaction with these special items focusses our attention on the waste and items we give meaning to, but then cast away. The birds are the conscience or a state of mindfulness about our choices. Each of the birds are Dubbo locals, they are common in our yards and the surrounds filling the air with their calls and delighting when they make an appearance. It was. a pleasure to observe their details and render them in a Lino print edition. https://www.withapencil.com/product-page/gift-card-vase-budgie-colour-1 2026-05-27 https://static.wixstatic.com/media/986b38_8542de95a2994ef08e1baad4b10454bc~mv2.jpg Gift card - Seemingly the most sensible and majestic of the coloured Budgies, this turquoise bird is attempting a risky landing on a spindly gum branch, it is a perilous choice.
