Sweeping all the way from the regions of Melbourne, down through South East Australia, Eucalyptus Ovata can be found deep into the forests of Tasmania. Also known as Swamp Gum, it forms one of the key habitat trees and food sources for Koala populations just outside of Melbourne. It has uniquely oval leaves that give this unassuming native a sense of welcoming and openness.

Ovata Form I has been created as a natural bouquet of new sapling foliage.  As if just scooped up from the forest floor, it is cradled by a ribbon of claret. Ovata Form I’s red and light brown tones draw on the colours of new growth.

Ovata Form I is part of the Virid Dream collection and is available in larger canvas print sizes with hand-embroidered organic undyed cotton thread which echoes the original artwork. These wonderful draping natural threads trail beyond the bounds of the Australian oak frame giving the piece a modern earthy, textural finish.
