The 28's Gather. - Bronze 1990, cast in 73 parts and fabricated together (NFS)
I used this photo to provide clarity, as capturing the perfect shot in our garden can be quite challenging.
This artwork is crafted from multiple cast and welded bronze pieces. The final assembly took place in Greg James Studio in Fremantle, a session that extended well into the night to ensure it could be promptly delivered to an exhibition, either on the same day or the following one.
The sculpture depicts five parrots indigenous to our area, known as 'Western Ring Necks or 28's' due to their distinctive call. These parrots are captured in their characteristic, frantic manner, reflecting their natural behavior.
