Wild Nightlife is a New Zealand fine art print by Barry Ross Smith. Three nocturnal New Zealand birds investigate a quintessential New Zealand Villa. With it's white fence and red roof it does resemble the structures on Tiritiri Matangi Island! An inquisitive Morepork (Ruru), gets very close, while the Kiwi and Kakapo hesitate outside the picket fence. The warm light from the window illuminate the wooden floors and manicured lawn.

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.
