This artwork is part of a series called 'Quirky tales' which explores surreal scenarios between animals and other creations that inhabit the earth. Sometimes it's flora, sometimes bugs, sometimes feathered or fury creatures.

Each artwork starts up as an idea in my brain, inspired by a wide variety of stimuli. I'm often triggered by words and sentences from poems, books or everyday conversations. Sometimes the ideas come to me in my sleep or visions when I meditate. And many ideas evolve from visual material that I collect.

"They Spent Hours Perched On The White Gums Discussing The Underlying Meaning Of Everyday Life" was initially inspired by the Galah; A super chatty Australian cockatoo, who I often hear whilst I'm working in my Sydney studio. I often wonder what birds and animals say to each other, or what goes on in their heads. This artwork aims to capture 'my' wishful moment, in which a human and feathered creature, sit side by side, in deep conversation, as equals.

The artwork was drawn on an iPad using Procreate and an Apple Pencil. What starts its life as a digital drawing, often evolves into other art forms including: oil paintings, Lino or etched prints and sometimes animations to be sold as an NFT/Crypto art.
