Australian wildlife is varied and unusual. As well as the kangaroo, another well-loved and totemic animal is the koala. The popular appeal of this marsupial is obvious in Hamish’s limited edition bronze Koala sculpture.

Hamish sculpted this koala while in Australia, from his travelling studio box, using plasticine. The squat tailless body, large head, round fluffy ears and wide nose are instantly recognisable. Hamish also manages to communicate a sense of the koala’s slow sleepy nature.

I couldn’t go to Australia and not sculpt a Koala, my children would never forgive me! They are a wonderful sight to see and we were privileged to see wild ones in the eucalyptus tree where we were staying.  They came back to the same tree a few times and did not seem to be remotely alarmed by our presence.
