Willow

Foxes would often visit my back garden, sunbathe on the lawn or sit on the shed roof. They are such beautiful creatures and I was reminded that nature wasn’t just in my back garden but, given the chance, it would be all around us.

This piece depicts a fox, 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. 

This is the fourth design in the series and was completed some time after the previous three and shows that the blue and white decorative elements are now far more refined. The blue and white are a good contrast and provide a really fresh appearance. The pop of orange on the fox’s tail ties the design together and felt complete when added.

Willow is a meticulously handmade layered paper cut, in bas-relief, using multiple pieces of cut coloured paper. This design can only be achieved by layering one section of cut paper on top of another, three or more layers thick. Some of the papers are slightly textured which highlights their patterns and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
