I have a deep love for badgers and sculpted this piece as a protest to the way this supposedly 'protected' species has been persecuted, over the last decade in mainland England.

life-sized badger 'Persecuted'.

 

From the top she appears to be quite a simple shape, but below reveals a lot more going on in terms of shape and colour. Badgers are largely hairless on their undersides which is why there is so much pink.

 

I most especially loved learning about, and sculpting, her paws! As a point of interest, badgers keep their claws sharp by keeping them off of the ground, suspended in the air on big spongy pads. As a result, she will not scratch your furniture!
