In 2018, I was invited by the South Australian Museum to help conserve labels from 19th century egg collection. Many of the bird species in the collection are now extinct or critically endangered.
Motivated to document these losses, I published Flight: An Illustrated Notebook of Bird Life Loss, which highlights the impact of urbanisation on our birdlife.
I also wanted to emphasise the important work of institutions like Artlab Australia and Museums, showcasing how collections like White’s inform our understanding of ecological history.
