What It Means To Be A Fox is part of a series of works based on foxes and their roles in folklore, mythology in order to manipulate the normal order of the world to create strange and unusual situations. Tricksters rebel against authority, poke fun at the overly serious, create convoluted schemes, and play with the laws of the universe. They exist to question and to cause us to question. These stories are often cautionary tales reflecting the concerns of society at the time. Visual artists have a lot in common with the trickster, we present connections and points of view through manipulation of materials. We create illusions to present the world as we see it or to communicate ideas and messages. For this installation, I am interested in creating a scene in which a spirit fox appears as a visitor to share insight into what it means to be a fox. The space between the two figures is equally important and represents the conversation they are having and what we choose to fill it with.
