Drawing from her virtuosic skills as a former Master Printer and fusing together profoundly personal and global concerns, Belinda Fox’s work lays bare the paradoxes endemic to contemporary human experience. Her recent collaboration with furniture maker Wilfred Kalf and glass blower Gert Bullée from the National Glass Museum in The Netherlands investigates the poetic valency of objects; the profound meaning that can be articulated through materiality.

Belinda Fox has forged an international career showing in Australia, USA, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and Jakarta. She has received several notable awards including the Paul Guest Drawing Prize (2010), and Burnie Print Prize (2007) and been a finalist in the Swan Hill Print and Drawing Award (2018, 2006, 2004) and Fremantle Art Prize (2007, 2006, 2003). Fox has taken up many residencies including a sculpture project with Urban Arts Projects (UAP) in Shanghai, printmaking at C.A.P Studios, Thailand and Skopelos, Greece. Her work is also held in major collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia, Manly Art Gallery & Museum, Queensland University of Technology Art Museum, Artbank, Fremantle Arts Centre, Print Council Of Australia, Swan Hill Regional Gallery and Wollongong University. In 2016 a monograph of Fox’s practice was published by Goff editions, USA, titled ‘Back to the Start’.

Belinda Fox & Wilfred Kalf have chosen to donate 100% of the proceeds from this work to Animals Australia.

Animals Australia are providing immediate support to expert wildlife vets to travel to fire-devastated areas - where they are helping any surviving animals, and ensuring local wildlife carers have the support and resources they need. They are also channelling much-needed funds directly to groups, vets and individuals helping animals in the hardest hit regions. They will also be assisting with the longer-term needs of affected wildlife, who have lost their habitats and their food source.
