Work in Progress

Fifi is working on her next mixed media installation - working tile of ‘Fragile Land'

Fragile Land

This is an installation consisting of five works in a variety of media. A digital film, a watercolour map, a slide projection, a light box, and a projection using a bespoke kinetic machine. All of the works will cross-reference each other within the installation. The sixth ingredient will be how the installation as a whole will possess the gallery space. The choice of such varied media is made in order to create an 'atmosphere'.  The installation will read at a number of different levels, depending how the visitor absorbs what they see. Each medium bringing out a particular 'feel' from the overall theme.

The artworks will include film, light boxes, water colours, slide projected images, and hand made projection machines. The works are a kaleidoscope stories of Ireland in 1000 years time, through the prism of human migration.

Etched and scratched 35mm film stock projected on automated carosel suggesting moments from 1000 years into the future.

'The City Arises'

A number of light boxes in mixed media, photo-collage and acrylic paint. An image visualising the mesmerising logic of hope. That amazing humanmotivation which allows civilisations to forge the future out of present calamities. This is also referenced in the digital film piece and the slide works.
