This print takes many techniques to create, a cyanotype is overlayed with a drypoint etching plate and a copper moon is guilded over the top. The real world mixed with the magical creates the tale of the white fox.
The White Fox
The white fox in his coat
Has all lands traveled
By the light of the moon
Etched in his gate
He slips from place to place
Seeing all but hiding his face
As he creeps all knowing
To hunt small prey
I wish he would tary
To tell me his tales
Of lost seas
Of mountains that rise and rise
Of camps of nomads
Of rolling feilds
Of the night sky that covers all in slumber
Bar him
And the Moon
Who calls as his constant partner
Holding the world in magic
Of dark hunts, in half light
Her beauty shaping his night to day
Drawing him out
Lighting his way
The White Fox
