Through paint and object we take a journey through our native flora and fauna, where we are challenged to contemplate the future of our environment. Susanne Boonen invites us to reflect on the limited time that some of our unique and vulnerable native and endemic flora and fauna have left.

"Every night, about 70 million possums eat 21,000 tonnes of shoots, fruits, berries and leaves from our native forests. That is the same amount as eating 190 million hamburgers." —Susanne Boonen

With a firm resolve to help save our environment, Susanne hopes this collection of works will engage, educate and call us to action. She has created a unique visual language, experimenting with several mediums such as ceramic, paint and found materials, capturing the beauty of our environment while exposing the fragility.

“May they at least be known before they slip away into extinction.” —Susanne Boonen
