New birdlife at the lagoons

“Taking Flight” Exhibition features Bird Sculptures and Contemporary Artworks…  by Lyn Kane and Chris Neely

“Taking Flight”… An exhibition by Lyn Kane and Chris Neely

Lyn Kane who creates woven bird sculptures writes…" My feathered friends have been the inspiration for my creations and although they are not exact replicas of a particular bird, they form a general likeness and character. The shape and textures of materials such as branches, palm and coconut fibre, which I work with, usually determines the type of bird I choose to make".
Chris Neely's Contempory Art work will compliment Lyn's birds. She writes… "In painting for this exhibition I have expanded on the word 'flight' to include the landscape, where the flight is taking place. These works are about enjoying nature, looking out over the horizon and of course looking for birds. What do the birds see as they fly over the landscape?"
