About the work

The print was made using Tiliqua Tiliqua’s press. The frame is second-hand.

The ‘Gumnut Koala’ seems to be a classic homage to the beautiful Australian nature, however there is an underlying environmental question, as the scene is actually depicting a plastic clip-on koala toy from Reverse Garbage, sitting on a gumnut branch found on the street. With the temperatures and sea levels rising, forests being cut down and while plastic product consumerism continues, will I ever see a real, wild and thriving koala?
