Artist Statement
My mural features a Chatham Island Shag, an endangered seabird native to New Zealand. This call is a message from nature pleading us to listen and acknowledge the damage we are doing to our oceans. The cause of the Chatham Island shag's decline is unknown, but it's not hard to imagine that human activity and our impact on the natural environment play a role.
