The Nest Series >
Feb 18 – March 14
Articulate and delectable, a wealth of beauty. "The image I fix on my canvas is something enduring, but the fragile nests themselves will soon enough disintegrate and return to the debris from which they were constructed - in this way they are much like our own best human endeavours." Roger Roberts
