Recent and upcoming shows include a solo show at VITRINE, London, UK; a group show at SIXI Museum, Nanjing, China where Fiona’s performance ‘Pools of prayers (All Intertwined)’ will be presented; A solo show at Andersen’s Contemporary, Copenhagen, DK. In April 2025 Fiona will present the exhibition ‘Ghost Flower Ritual’ at Copenhagen Contemporary in collaboration with composer Sophie Søs Meyer.
Working across sculpture, costume, painting and performance, Fiona’s practice can be seen as an intertwined ecosystem where one medium gives birth to another. The painted worlds are manifested through the sculptures and the creatures in the paintings are given a physical body through her ritual-like, long durational performances. Using different natural materials in her work such as paper pulp, cellulose glue, shells, branches, jute, rabbit-skin glue and natural pigments, Fiona tries to encapsule a connected universe. The materiality used in Fiona’s works underlines her ongoing investigation of coexistence between species, the intertwinement of micro and macro cosmos and how our bodies can be seen as open containers and galaxies for all the microorganisms living inside us.
Inspired by quantum physics, microbiology, and alchemy, she creates her own mythological universe populated by hybrid human creatures that dissolve into imaginative ecosystems. Fiona’s works explore speculative futures full of connectivity where the boundaries between body and earth, dream and reality are fluid.
