Suburban Parrots, 2014.

Linocut mural printed on plywood. 116 x 271 cm. Chilsolm TAFE, Frankston, VIC

This bird theme in Karen Neal's piece reminds me of the birds, such as the kingfishers, that could be spotted in the trees throughout the Kerala backwaters. Her layout here is interesting, I wouldn't use this for my own but actually it could be an interesting way of joining the scene images, to form part of a set. If they can link together through a pattern or piece of line work.
