Printed on cream BK Rives Arches paper, this wintery scene is capturing the leafless trees standing still in a frosty mist. The foreground tree stands out, it’s shape clearer because of the fog which holds back the details of the background forest. The title is both about the literal ‘coming into focus’ of trees in mist, but also of a mindset and perhaps emotional state which can be found when walking in a woodland or being outdoors surrounded by the natural world.
‘Unnumbered quests and voyages have taken place through and over the deepwood, and fairy tales and dream-plays have been staged in its glades and copses. Woods have been a place of inbetweenness, somewhere one might slip from one world to another, or one time to a former’*. Fouhy’s forest monotypes are full of atmosphere. Ranging from lush temperate rainforests to dry, pine-strewn woodlands, she uses experimental printing techniques, moving etching inks around with rags and rollers to create intrigue and draw the viewer into the scene. Each piece is produced with an unrepeatable combination of chance and controlled technique which Fouhy has developed through years of making monotypes.
Fouhy studied at Central Saint Martins, London. She has won multiple awards and was elected to associate membership by the Royal Society of Printers and Painters in 2023.
Her work is held in public collections including the Ashmolean Museum, V&A Museum and the Central St Martins College Contemporary Collection. It is held in private collections throughout the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA. She is represented by Eames Fine Art and Rachel Bebb Contemporary.
