Bronze sculpture. Limited edition of 20.

Duvacel’s Gecko (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii) is a small, highly detailed bronze miniature. This enigmatic and threatened New Zealand species is shown curled around a stone, displaying the toe-pads and large, unblinking eyes that are the characteristic traits of a gecko. It was made using the lost wax casting method and during the hand-carving process particular attention was paid to the detailing of the skin texture, giving the piece a dense, tactile quality. The piece is freestanding and carries the artist signature on the underside of the base.
