Fire Fox Dreaming was inspired by folklore of shaman using sprit animals to traverse the liminal realms.
I see these creatures as effigies of huge elemental land spirits. These beings are archetypal guardians of the ley lines that traverse and snake across the landscape, interconnecting and energising sacred sites across the earth. They live in the liminal realms but at twilight between the mist and sky they occasionally can be seen.
Fire Fox Dreaming is a celebration of Boxwoods magical nature the dark forms that manifest from this gnarly wood are interlaced with the mythical creatures that still walk the lands in the shadows and the liminal realms just beyond our perception.
Fire Fox Dreaming is carved from a several pieces of sustainably sourced boxwood . After carving the main body which includes hollowing or distressing areas that I would prefer do not crack. It is then gilded with gold leaf. The spirit and the shards were carved individually and will be removed before sending and packaged separately and then added within the main package.
This piece is initialed.
I will add an authentication document into the package.
The carving will be sent in a hardened cardboard or plastic tube with bubble wrap added to the ends for protection, if it is unsuitable shape for a tube I use hardened plastic boxes. I use the Royal Mail or ParcelForce for posting around the world. Its usually tracked and signed for, if available. Depending on the country I’m posting to.
Australian buyers this carving has no bark and no defects that will cause trouble at customs. I will add full details on the outside of the box such as wood type, heat treated, Danish
Oil/lemon oil, etc. I have successfully shipped several carvings to Australia and New Zealand.
