life meets art

In The Cactus House, Mt Coot-tha Botanic Garden, June 2021

life meets art.

Working in the succulent garden I witnessed a real Noisy Miner bird meet my paper Noisy Miner placed under the Aloe bush in The Cactus House, Mt Coot-tha Botanic Garden. What a commotion!

I created the paper Miner bird in response to a ‘sighting’ by Ari, the gardener in The Cactus House, who observed the Noisy Miners swooping in to suck the nectar from the Aloe flowers.
