IN FIONA’S WORDS
'I can't remember a time when I wasn't seeing, listening and feeling deeply. There has always felt like something was begging to be uncovered; played with; explored and seen. Something that was just beyond my immediate, physical field of vision. Throughout my life I have had this sense of being enticed; invited to let go again and again of accumulated mind babble, constructed images, ideas and all that constricts. Rather, the invitation has been to abandon myself, through creativity, to the unknown and dip my awareness into ever more subtle realms. Realms that so closely overlap our three dimensional experience and may be accessed through our innate, creative expression.
To this end, I have learned to completely trust the process in the moment and, as a result I never plan my art. I simply allow an organic flow to move through. Each piece becomes a celebration, if you like, of this deeply personal collaboration with the unseen. This has been one of my greatest teachers and for the most part, taught me to trust and have faith that there is always something more.. It has truly been a journey of the heart. My dance has been with light and colour and they continue to be the muses of my soul.'
