ARTISTSFiona MorleyLondon (UK)
From early childhood she has obsessively drawn people and characters from her imagination. This creative compulsion later came to reflect her desire to understand herself and others, both from a psychological as well as a creative and emotional perspective. Her work explores human expression, form and relationships between individuals and within the crowd. Having studied drawing and sculpture, she found wire the ideal medium to take the drawn line off the page into 3-dimensional space. Using wire, the definition of form comes as much from the voids and shadows as from the material itself. Human expression and form is complex, fleeting and fragile. The web-like weave of wire, shadow and space attempts to communicate this nature. The resulting wire characters combine the ghostly and ethereal with the comic and cartoon.
