Etching and watercolour

My artwork is based on the Northern Quoll, an Australian animal which is fast becoming extinct. I created the artwork to evoke a sense of dread and panic in the viewer about the loss of this unique native animal due to introduced species. My influences were West Australian printmaker, Leon Pericles, and the animated music video ‘The Wolf’ by Siames.
