Taveta golden weavers move between their intricately woven nests, suspended from the branches above.

Painted from memories and studies made in Kenya, the birds, branches and hanging nests dissolve into a network of colour and line: flashes of yellow emerging from a shifting field of turquoise, earth and light.
