Thrilled to be part of 'The Overwintering Project: Westernport', now showing at @mprg_vic until 23 May 2021. With huge thanks to @kategorringesmith who conceived the project and organised the exhibition, and congratulations to @helen_kocis_edwards whose work is in the foreground of the first picture. The Overwintering Project is a long-term environmental art project that unites artists around Australia to raise awareness for our most endangered group of birds, migratory shorebirds, and their habitat. Migratory shorebirds spend the summer on our beaches, then fly annually to the arctic to breed, a round trip of over 25,000 km. The Overwintering Project: Westernport focusses on Western Port as an internationally significant migratory shorebird habitat. The exhibition features 17 artists who have produced new work in a variety of media inspired by the local Western Port environment. These will be shown in conjunction with the Overwintering Project Print Portfolio, a growing collection of 300+ original prints made by artists from Australia and New Zealand in response to the unique nature of their local migratory shorebird habitat. #mprg #overwintering #overwinteringprintproject #printmaking #art #birds #shorbirds #migratoryshorebirds #flyway #artinthetimeofcoronavirus (at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNWLbXbBzu8/?igshid=umdcev39u38w
