Contemplation Kotare
Contemplation holds a special meaning for Claire, inspired by being in the present, especially after the difficulties the world is facing at the moment. Seems the world of art is filling a void as the people of New Zealand are unable to travel. Thus opening the moments of being at home and being more aware of our surrounds, art being the escape, as sales of art have increased across the nation.
The Kingfisher, otherwise known as the Kotare, New Zealand's Sacred Kingfisher, said to be the first bird to fly from Noah's ark after the deluge, supposedly received the orange of the setting sun on its breast and the blue of the sky on its back. A symbol of peace, promising prosperity and love.
The Sacred Kingfisher, is a treasured bird that can been seen from the window of Claire's studio. Working from her photographic observations the details and characters of these precious birds hold a lot of fascination for her. It is about the connectivity with each day that we hold with ourselves to be in the moment and happy for what each day brings. We used to look outside of ourselves for that which we needed and now we look inside for our own internal guidance, just like the Kotare. They are loyal and dedicated to their family, they are true beauty we don't see every day unless we look.
