Description
ROXBY is a distinctive fox sculpture handcrafted by Suzanne McRae, in which textile art, antique materials and imagination come together to bring to life a character of extraordinary expressive power.
The piece depicts a slender fox with large pointed ears and amber eyes, whose beautifully aged face conveys an enigmatic personality, somewhere between innocence and mischief.
Its costume is one of the most fascinating elements of the composition. A voluminous floral fabric bow frames the neck, accompanied by a delicate layer of antique lace, while the body and limbs are dressed in historically inspired patterned textiles. The long yellow boots, small ornamental details and red wooden base lend the figure a distinctly theatrical character, reminiscent of figures from traditional puppet theatres.
The combination of textures, patterns and aged tones, together with the subtle irregularities inherent in handcrafted work, reinforces the individuality of the piece. Each element seems to carry a story of its own, transformed by the artist into a new visual narrative.
The result is a contemporary sculpture of remarkable sensitivity, where fantasy, the memory held within antique textiles and a touch of subtle eccentricity come together to create a character as mysterious as it is endearing.
A unique and deeply evocative piece, ideal for those who appreciate textile art, theatrical aesthetics and objects capable of telling stories.
