About
Fiona's work is about colour, which she explores through process. She is intrigued by the fact that a simple spectrum of light can have such an emotional pull for us. She is drawn to imagery from the distant past, lost meanings and the natural world.
"Process inspires me, I like my work to grow organically, with the results of each step suggesting the next direction to be taken. Being surprised and slightly off-kilter makes me feel at my most creative, leading me in unexpected directions which otherwise wouldn't occur to me."
The partially anodised sheets of metal are patterned in many ways including text, hand carved lino prints, experimental processes, prints and over-dyes and then the anodising is completed.
The patterns often have an initial meaning which is deliberately lost and dispersed once the metal is cut and formed into jewellery.
