Katherine Hattam The nightingale and the kookaburra – portrait of Drusilla Modjeska

What food has this person just been eating?

Katherine Hattam visited writer Drusilla Modjeska at her home to prepare this collaged artwork. They shared a meal while Katherine made drawings and took photographs of Drusilla. The table is scattered with takeaway containers and plates with food scraps. Drusilla is framed by words that give us clues about her life as a writer.

Can you spot a famous Sydney landmark behind Drusilla?
