fox and feathers

pencil and oils on pine plywood box
2009

i’ve started working on a series of work exploring childhood fears of an isolated, dystopian ‘australia’. the imagery is based on my memories growing up in the rural outskirts of sydney, surrounded by bush dwelling animals… this piece is inspired by the foxes that would stare hauntingly through the trees at night (and would get into our chicken pen)
