Biography

Still dreaming…

Fifi Smith is a visual artist living and working in Celbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland.

Originally she trained and worked as an architect. But since 1995 she has been a practicing artist. Her first solo show was in 1998. Her work has evolved through ceramics then bronze and steel, then to mixed media installations. Most of her current work is in the form of experimental film, and kinetic light installations.

Her film work uses collages of her experimental footage often treated with special effects and some animation.

She explores the shifting balance between emotion and reason in human motivation through embodying the tension between mass behavior and individuality in sculptural works.

Her work has been shown in Barcelona, Bucharest, Bejiing, as well as Washington DC, London and Manchester.  In Ireland she has exhibited in Cork, Dublin, Tipperary, Belfast, Galway and Kildare.
