Anna's Humming Bird III
This charming piece is part of the 457 Visa – Temporary Skilled Migration collection in my 2024 exhibition at Fig Tree Gallery, Yeppoon. It’s sure to bring a touch of delight to any little girl’s bedroom.
For a little humour - Australia’s immigration office was caught off guard when a flamboyant flock of exotic birds landed at Brisbane Airport, each with a tiny work visa. Among them were three Anna’s Hummingbirds from Arizona and a sassy Lilac-Breasted Roller from South Africa, all en route to the Capricorn Coast as crop pollination specialists. Initially sceptical, border officials were charmed by the birds’ mid-air manoeuvres and melodious chatter. After some debate, the birds were allowed to stay, provided they didn’t set up unauthorized nests in government buildings. With bees needing a helping hand, these feathered recruits were poised to add a splash of vibrancy and a touch of cheekiness to Australia’s agriculture.
