Night Foxes In Clyne Woods
This print depicts a moonlit scene in Clyne Woods, where the silhouettes of winter trees rise against a stippled sky. Two foxes, rendered with a spare, graphic clarity, move across icy undergrowth, their forms echoing the dark, angular rocks. The composition, with its cool palette of blues and inky blacks, evokes the stylised landscapes of Japanese woodblock prints, yet it speaks to a specific Gower locale.
Here, nature reasserts itself over a former industrial valley; the foxes become quiet sentinels of this unfolding scene. The work captures a resilient wildness, where the stark geometry of bare branches and the animals’ passage offer a meditation on the persistent rhythms of the natural world overlaying a human past, and the enduring allure of the nocturnal.
