Fiona works with painting, textiles and installation to explore the poetics of landscape space and the impacts of screen-based technologies on our attention, memory and the diminishment of our sensory engagement with the world. Fiona studied at Manchester School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art and has exhibited her work internationally. She has also undertaken a number of site-specific commissions across the UK. Her work is characterised by an abstract exploration of colour and materials at different scales, she often intervenes in or transforms the architecture of the exhibition space painting directly onto the walls. Â
Fiona is committed to the making process within her practice, she used her QEST funding to undertake a two-year part-time course in Tapestry Weaving at West Dean College of Arts and Conservation. Combining these traditional skills with a broader exploration of materials and techniques, Fiona is focused on contributing to the resurgence of interest in the use of tapestry as a fine art medium in the UK.Â
