Fiona Campbell will showcase developing work following her 3-week residency in the empty shop space (20/2-10/3). This will feature suspended, wall-mounted and freestanding artworks. The work responds to entanglements and cycles in our natural world, using reclaimed materials.
About
Fiona Campbell is currently developing new work as part of her Arts Council England ‘Developing Your Creative Practice Award’.
I’ve been developing work related to our natural world. Above and Below is a response to the entanglements and cycles of life that make up earth’s strata. Flags of the Forest is inspired by woodlands. The flags celebrate bio-diversity, hopeful of nature being more cared for, and thriving. These involve a combination of sculptural lines and fields of colour in space - hand-stitched patchworks of semi-translucent textiles and plastic remnants. Some I’ve botanically dyed, eco-printed or embedded with found objects collected on walks. Woods and forests provide vital ecosystems - crucial to our survival.'
From 11-19 March, Fiona's work will be showcased in an exhibition following her 3-week residency in the empty shop space (20/2-10/3). The Opening Event is Saturday 11 March, 2-4pm. There will be a compositional soundscape in response to works by Ushara Dilrukshan. Fiona will show a range of suspended, wall-mounted and freestanding works, including a few pieces from her Life in the Undergrowth project. Open 11-19 March, Mon-Sat 11am-4pm, Create@#8, 8 Town Street, Shepton Mallet BA4 5BG.
Linked to her exhibition, Fiona will be running an Eco Sculpture Workshop on Saturday, 18 March, 2-4pm, Book: eventbrite. Venue: Create@#8, 8 Town Street, Shepton Mallet BA4 5BG.
