Fiona Maher

Art House 39
4 Joppa Park
Open: 6/7 September, 10am-6pm

Fiona’s work explores familiar things in a new way, creating a new narrative and context for them, in particular nature in relation to the man made environment. She is a printmaker & sculptor. 

Fiona’s practice is playful and multi-faceted, expressing herself through printmaking and sculpture. She responds to found and encountered objects using a combination of techniques to explore them and uses the results to direct the way forward. There is a plan and no plan. Her process starts spontaneously before moving into experimentation and development. Her most recent body of work was sparked by the discovery of a cache of dumped broken vinyl records, this has led to a sustained period of cumulative practice.

Fiona is inspired by and curious about things that have reached the end of their useful life and incorporates images of birds, which symbolise nature’s resilience in the face of adversity and are also a metaphor for the inner strength and adaptability humans present when confronted with sudden change and challenges.
