Old Blue (2025)

2025, cast bronze on polished schist
18 x 21 x 14mm

Edition of 7

OLD BLUE honours the legendary last fertile female of the Chatham Island black robin. Through her resilience—and the extraordinary dedication of conservationist Don Merton—she became the unlikely saviour of a species brought back from the very edge of extinction.

I have also made a larger work LOVEBIRDS which was inspired by a poem of the same name about the last breeding pair.
