Artist Statement | Clarity of flight series

This series draws on jewellery traditions that use bird motifs as cultural symbols. Inspired by superb fairy‑wrens, eastern rosellas and rainbow lorikeets, the works explore how flight reframes perspective. Watching birds sweep past my windows gently reminds me to lift my gaze to the wider landscape of possibility that new perspectives afford me.

Artist Statement and Bio | Artists often supply a statement which is about their artworks. The Bio is about them and captures their achievements similar to that of a CV. This document will accompany sold artworks at Gallery of Small Things and form part of your provenance when collecting artworks. Vicki’s Artist Statement and Bio can be read here.

Australian and International Shipping | When checking out, you can choose click and collect (for locals) or custom shipping invoice (Australia and International). Anne will be in touch at the end of the exhibition once your artwork/s is packed and will seek a custom quote from Australia Post.
