{"title":"Pandemonium | Katherine Douglas","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKatherine Douglas is a life-long, card carrying, flag-flying, bird-nerd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs an environmental artist, a core focus of her practice is to explore the plight of Australian birds impacted by habitat loss.

The weathered paint colour is coincidentally \u003ci\u003eEucalypt\u003c\/i\u003e, a nod to a primary habitat of these jewels of the avian world, and a physical piece of Katherine’s own habitat, her home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith many Australian parrots now endangered, and H5 bird flu on our shores it is vital to be aware of the birds in our environs, and do all we can to ensure their survival.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can follow Kathy here\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/katherine_douglas_art\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exhibition OPEN Saturday 18 July and continues until Saturday 15 August 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll works will be made available from Tuesday 18 August either in store or posted out to you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease feel free to get in touch regarding payment plans for works, we're happy to assist- hello@cornerstoremerchants.com OR 03 54 706 639\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/5239\/6834\/collections\/IMG_1800.jpg?v=1784065510","url":"https:\/\/cornerstoremerchants.com\/collections\/pandemonium-katherine-douglas.oembed","provider":"Corner Store Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
