Four and Twenty Magpies by Sandra Winkworth - SOLD OUT!
Sold
Aussies love their meat pies and the Australian maggies have a fabulous and elaborate song. I couldn’t help but mix the two.
Sing a song of six pence,
a pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
the birds began to sing.
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
to set before the king?

Sandra Winkworth is a Sydney based artist who exhibits internationally and extensively in Australia. With open artist access to the printmedia workshops at Sydney College of the Arts, she is also a member of the Warringah Print Studio, known for their safer printmaking practices.

Her concerns focus on our casual consumerism, the loss of connection to Nature and its real decline.
