In this tiny 32cm high oil painting "Extinction II," a majestic Pouakai (Haast eagle) flies away from a dark burgundy tulip containing our planet earth. The native New Zealand eagle, which had a wingspan of up to 3 metres went extinct in 1400AD. This earth flower conceptually explores the Gaia hypothesis. This theory proposes that the earth's ecology is a complex interacting system of living and non-living parts that can be thought of as a single organism. . . .
