On show What the Birds Told Me
Zig Zag Gallery Kalamunda

14 February – 8 March

An intimate, multi-sensory exhibition that centres the wisdom and presence of local birds as messengers, teachers, and companions in times of change.

Claire B Bushby with invited artists Donna Franklin, Jody Quakenbush, W. Sze Tsang, and members of the SICK AF Collective Amanda Alderson, Nadeen Brown and Annamaria Weldon.

View online THE STORM

Unsettling and tumultuous, THE STORM approaches rapidly, sending out ripples of energy.

Dead Reckoning is a convergence of works made across my health journey – Uncharted Waters, Voyage to Disaster, Wayfaring – anchored in limestone reefs, the Abrolhos Islands and the Batavia wreck.

Recent creative pursuits brave the unknown through ferocious seas, navigation methods, shipwrecks, to find different ways of being.

THE STORM features Dead Reckoning, a showcase of select works from Voyage to Disaster, with a series of hand drawn nautical charts, and an elemental embracing of my changed body- ‘I AM the storm’.

Sharing stories is my passion.

Wearable Narratives

Every piece of jewellery holds a little story — a colour that meant something, a shape that stuck with me, a word I couldn’t let go of.

If one calls to you – maybe it’s meant to be part of your own story now?

Collections +

Stories are embedded in objects and places, richly with meaning and intrigue.

Folkloric tales, epic journeys, fated discovery voyages, Western Australia’s unique flora and fauna, and symbols of protection – inspire all facets of my work.

Creating beautiful objects is a beacon of light in my recovery process.

With deep curiosity, I draw on folklore, symbolism, and my healing journey to create pieces that carry meaning and beauty. The studio is my sanctuary, where every creation is a reflection of care, story, and resilience.

My studio is nestled next to Banyowla Regional Park, a biodiverse hotspot of the Perth foothills in Beelo Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, Western Australia, on our family’s generational homestead.
