| Annie Smits Sandano, Fantail Kokowhai Korero. Limited edition woodcut print 70x50cm. Edition of 200. |
The New Zealand Works series have very strong graphic elements.
In this one, I like how the korus seem to turn to music notes,
as if they are the song of the fantails.
The series is a combination of elegant birds, patterns and vessels.
The series of Woodcuts has some very quirky characters
which are worth a look.
