THE JOURNEY

































Our brief was to illustrate a journey of any kind in 7 images. What that could be was entirely up to us. I ended up choosing to follow a fox, from the depths of the countryside, to the midst of the city. Instead of taking a fictional ‘disney’ slant, I wanted to show what the reality of this could entail. The images themselves were created by making gestural paint marks on scraps of paper, blotting them on other surfaces, then collaging these together to create the backgrounds. The foxes are monoprints, which were then scanned in and superimposed on top of the backgrounds to create the final images. Above is a selection of my favourite final prints.
