Magpie Memories

15F / 25 Countess Street, Brisbane City QLD
‘Magpie Memories’ expresses the idea that Magpie’s remember our faces and in turn we should treat them with kindness so that they remember us as friendly. These iconic birds live in our backyards, streets, and local parks, and each has their own little personalities. This piece encompasses the themes of human and nature interconnectedness and the need for humans to treat animals and the environment with kindness.
