Flights of Fancy celebrates the array of native bird life that find habitat and breathe colour and character into the suburbs of Canberra, fostered by the bushland corridors that form part of the city’s unique planning.
It is a suite of works that consists of a carved red box blue wren play sculpture, glass mosaic, glazed terracotta and concrete seating pedestals, sandblasted terracotta and cast bronze feather paving insets and three fibreglass and duco bird forms mounted on carved Tallowwood poles.
