Metropolitan Menagerie

Metropolitan Menagerie explores the context of urbanisation and its impact on native animals, focusing on how communities coexist with local wildlife. The project examines the adaptation of Australian animals native to the City of Melton Locality. The subject matter would include species such as Blue Tongue Lizards, Legless Lizards, Ravens, Magpies, Burrowing Bettongs, Ibis, and Swans for example.

This exhibition is designed to engage audiences of all ages, drawing from the success of my previous project, 'Urban Birds'.  That exhibition, which explored similar themes, elicited significant interaction and appreciation from both children and adults.

Metropolitan Menagerie aims to build on this momentum, fostering a deeper connection between the community and the native animals that share their urban spaces.
