Inspired by the harmonious movements and interactions of the Australian Splendid Blue Wren. After hours and hours spent watching the blue wren in their natural environments, I recognised the way in which the Splendid Wrens move within a group searching for food with an alluring and majestic flow. The soft blue background amidst the gentle green leaves of the silver gum tree together create an ambience of tranquillity and peace. They take the same path everyday, moving down the path in one direction before heading back the way they came. They’re delicate and soft in the way they move from branch to branch, crossing paths with one another, weaving a trail of iridescent blues.
