‘May there be hiding places to keep you as hidden as you want, climbing places to keep you above, flying places, resting places, low-lying and high-cliff caves, more places carved by winds and rains, salt and waves, fragrant jungles, terraced gardens, islands old and still being born, places where you wait for welcome, places that you know are not for you or anyone to enter—may you protect all of these places and may they protect you.’ Hawaiian poet, Brandy Nalani McDougall. ‘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’ (R McFarlane). 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 College of Art, UAL, London and the University of Manchester. Her work has won multiple awards, was shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize in 2025 and she was elected to associate membership by the Royal Society of Printers in 2023. Her work is held in public collections including the 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, Glasshouse Contemporary and Rachel Bebb Contemporary.
