'Kōkako Companions' limited edition print
'Kōkako Companions' limited edition print
Kōkako are gorgeous native NZ wattle birds, often heard in pairs singing their beautiful duets that echo through the high treetops. The reference photos for this artwork were taken by Hannah of birds in two different locations however, and combined for the artwork to depict a composition which would be difficult to capture on camera in the wild. The kōkako on the right is ‘Kahurangi’ from Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre, which Hannah photographed in June 2019. The bird on the left is ‘Cloudsley Shovell’, and was known as Tiritiri Matangi Island’s matriarch. She was photographed on a visit to Tiritiri Matangi in September 2019. This was Hannah’s first time photographing kōkako in the wild, and she waited for over 2 hours in a nikau grove before capturing the image. Unfortunately, Cloudsley disappeared in March 2020, at 23 years old. The two birds are drawn perched on a blooming kohekohe branch, which Hannah photographed at the Waikanae river track. In total, six photographs were used for the main composition of this artwork, as well as further images were referenced for additional details missing in the main images, to create an original and realistic looking scene.
