Magpie Imposter
Pied Currawong Imposter
‘Pied Currawong Imposter’ | clay, underglaze, glaze, found paint panel, sticks, grass | 90cm diameter nest | Nearly all creative people at some time suffer from Imposter Phenomenon – believing themselves unworthy of admiration or their place in the creative world. Their success and acceptance is not necessarily reflected by their own perceptions. Channel billed cuckoos are seasonally found on our property. They breed by placing fertilised “imposter” eggs in the nest of a pied currawong, magpie or other species, having that bird raise their young. Channel billed cuckoo young are accepted by the host species despite their differences.
