{"product_id":"hunkered-down-hare-print","title":"Hunkered Down Hare - print","description":"\u003cp\u003eTucked away in a vibrant summer meadow, this piece captures a brown hare resting quietly among the wildflowers and wildlife. The detailed composition is built from an intricate mix of individually decorated, hand painted papers, carefully divided and assembled to build up the layers of dense foliage and the texture of the hare's coat. Strokes of paint, pastels, and ink add fine detail and movement throughout the scene, bringing the quiet, hidden life of the hedgerow to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA3 signed reproduction print on SRA3 archival paper, supplied cellophane wrapped and card backed (unmounted)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shop.obsidianart.co.uk\/collections\/hayley-noakes\" title=\"Hayley Noakes - click here to see more work available by Hayley Noakes\" style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003eSee more work available by Hayley Noakes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Hayley Noakes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHayley Noakes is a contemporary collage artist whose work explores wildlife, animal behaviour, and wild spaces through a quiet, folkloric lens. Animals form the central presence in her work, depicted not as anatomical studies but as intuitive, gently symbolic figures observed within open landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHayley is drawn to stillness — moments of watching and waiting — creating a sense of wildness that feels attentive and calm. Her compositions are richly layered, echoing the way nature reveals itself through slow observation, allowing small details and subtle relationships to gradually emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking primarily with collage, she combines painted papers with materials such as pastel, pencil, and ink. The papers she uses are hand-painted, allowing each piece to develop slowly through layering and refinement. Weathered and time-worn materials, including ephemera, are often incorporated to introduce texture, age, and a sense of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeasonal change is an important influence in her work, particularly the autumn and winter landscape. Rich autumnal colour, falling leaves, and the structural stillness of winter provide a framework in which animal presence and behaviour can come forward without distraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to being represented by commercial galleries, Hayley’s original pieces are held in private collections; and her distinctive artwork is licensed nationally by Green Pebble Cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayley Noakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57798290997631,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0250\/3233\/files\/HunkeredDownHareFINAL.jpg?v=1781880582","url":"https:\/\/www.shop.obsidianart.co.uk\/products\/hunkered-down-hare-print","provider":"Obsidian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
