Badger with Oak Tree

About the sculpture

Using the majestic oak tree as inspiration, Marnie has turned Badger’s main form into the twisting trunk of the tree. Look closely, you might see the double helix intertwined and dotted about the ‘bark’!

Badger wears an oak leaf and acorn patterned coat, where you’ll spot blackbirds and a little red squirrel.

Marnie has added a sky-blue top hat and cravat decorated with fluffy clouds and brightly painted butterflies, bringing awareness to the huge environmental benefits of these beautiful trees.
