Sulphur Crested Cockatoos Painting
Kathleen Buzzacott’s artwork draws on Tjoritja and the wildlife found within this Country. Here, two sulphur-crested cockatoos form the central focus of the composition. Their pale feathers contrast with the colourful and highly detailed patterned background.
Kathleen describes Tjoritja as her husband’s Country, where they have lived and raised their family for many years. She also speaks of her love for the beauty of this special place. Her paintings therefore reflect the flora, fauna and landscapes associated with the West MacDonnell Ranges.
The compact 10cm x 10cm format gives the work a distinctive character. Although small in scale, the painting contains considerable visual detail. The two birds occupy the centre of the composition, while the surrounding dots and patterns add colour, movement and contrast.
