Wanderer's Nightsong is a fine art print with Kiwi, Ruru and Kakapo slowly awakening to the sunset ready to welcome their night. A homage to the native nocturnal birds of Aotearoa that only come out at night. On Tiritiri Matangi Island you will not find any kakapo but there are plenty of Kiwi pukupuku/little spotted Kiwi and Ruru which you are very likely to hear or see if you are lucky while out on a night walk.

This is a matted print in a cellophane sleeve, lightweight for posting and ready for framing.

The island series depict entanglements on isolated islands; representations of  the tension between our need to exploit the natural environment and livestock to make a home, against our obligation for the conservation and preservation of native forests and wildlife for its own survival. They can be viewed as theatrical tableau; a reflective space which highlight mankind’s complex relationship with the land, flora, fauna and all set against the encompassing endless ocean.
