Whispers of the Wild — Guardians of the Canopy (Part of Edge of the WEDGE)







Whispers of the Wild — Guardians of the Canopy (Part of Edge of the WEDGE)
Whispers of the Wild — Where the Red Tails Roam and Guardians of the Canopy — honours the endangered Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo and the native food sources that sustain them: gum nuts, banksia and flowering eucalyptus. Using Southern Ice porcelain, native seed pod impressions, underglaze and sgraffito, each vessel becomes a quiet homage to the birds’ resilience and the canopy they protect. These works are both celebration and call to action — a reminder of what is at stake in our disappearing bushland.

Sculptural Seed Pods — $220 (set of 3–4)
