Invasive Species

This painting features a central image of a deer, delicately poised against an evocative nocturnal urban skyline. The fragile innocence of the deer contrasts with the rich twilight scene, illustrating the dichotomy of Aotearoa: the vast wilds and the urban sprawl, innocence and cruelty, conservation and destruction. The surreal, dreamlike quality of the piece allows the viewer to journey through time—between then and now, day and night, childhood and the loss of innocence.
