Red Fox Woodcut

Description

A wee Red Fox sleeping in the woods.

This is available on gold or silver tissue paper please specify if you have a preference otherwise I will send silver.

This is a 2 block wood cut using chine-collé. Chine-collé is a collage method using tissue paper to create vivid effects under prints. The entire print is on silver or gold tissue paper and the fox is highlighted using red tissue.

The tissue does have little creases which gives the print texture and a byzantine effect.

The tissue is attached to Japanese simili paper using spray adhesive and the print is created using waterbased ink. To prevent damage to the tissue paper the adhesive used is re-positional therefore great care should be taken when removing the print for framing. The tissue can be smoothed down carefully with a clean hand.

The printed area is 11x15cm. The tissue area is 16x12.5cm. The paper is approx 20x14cm but this will vary.

Each print will be numbered and signed.

Each print is hand pulled and will be unique, the collage technique will create different effects on each print.

Inspiration

I love early 20th century eastern European illustration and decided to create my own little fairy tale versions. The first in the series was the little red squirrel in the birch forest. Next up came the Hare leaping through the trees. I did struggle with my wee fox, initially I had him slinking through the trees, then stalking the moon, eventually I decided he could have a rest in the trees.
