Fox Awakens

Foxes would often visit my back garden, sunbathe on the lawn or sit on the shed roof. They are such beautiful creatures and I would be reminded that nature wasn’t just in my back garden and that their dens were just up the road in woods nearby.

The fox is curled up and suddenly noticing that they are not alone. The fox’s tail is a key feature on the animal and is a large part of this design. The decorative motifs show stylised plants and berries that a fox might encounter and they form a strong link to the fox’s woodland environment. 

The artwork has been meticulously hand-made using layers of cut, coloured papers to form a relief design. The colour palette has been kept simple in order to emphasise the fox’s shape, its main features and the stylised decorative details. Sections of this design have been layered and built up to different heights into a noticeable relief, using model making techniques.  This emphasises those key features, separating them and plays with the idea of depth and shadow, elevating a potentially flat design into a far more involved artwork.
