Lewin’s kangaroo stares waving a British flag into an uncertain future whilst native fairy like phasmids flit and rise. An oversized giant castor oil plant frames this scene – an introduced invasive weed used for medicinal purposes including as a laxative… The flag is the British flag that was planted on European arrival.

Pencil and watercolour on Stonehenge 250gsm paper
95 x 62cm unframed / 120 x 80cm framed
'Extinction Game - Red-Crowned Parakeet’ reimagines a historical portrait of an extinct Australian bird. This parrot was endemic to Lord Howe and is extinct since 1870.
The black and white chess board may refer to a game, to burnt and unburnt, to race, to colonial floorcloths, to finance (the French escheker), to ‘checkered’ alternations of good and bad.
