White Fox is part of an extensive and long running body of work featuring dogs, both wild and domestic. The works are often brimming with character, and this piece is no exception, the creature glaring cunningly at the viewer.

Bronwyn Hack is a painter, printmaker, ceramicist and textile artist. She has a fervent art practice resulting in poignant work, at times heading more toward a painful melodrama. Early work centred on scenes of ardent attraction featuring fictionalised characters drawn from popular culture and the artist's imagination. Alongside this interest, Hack has maintained a keen exploration of animals, with a particular penchant for dogs, both wild and domestic. Recent work focuses on figurative subject matter—sections of the body, bones and bodily forms—which she thoughtfully isolates and reinterprets into intriguing objects and paintings. Hack has worked at Arts Project Australia since 2011. Hack has presented two solo exhibitions at Arts Project in 2016 and virtually in 2020 and has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions Bayside art Gallery, Brighton; Linden New Art Melbourne; Northcity4, Melbourne; The Substation, Newport; and Bundoora Homestead. In 2018 Hack was an Artist in Residence at Australian Tapestry Workshop. Her work is held in corporate and private collections throughout Australia.
