Fiona Frew

Artist statement

The objects we surround ourselves with are not inanimate objects but alive. The processes used to construct objects are part of the narrative associated with them and yet not the end of the story. As an artist, I am interested in exploring the persistence of objects and examining alternative narratives for the roles they play in our lives.

Bio

Fiona Frew uses her artistic practice to examine the role of objects persistence. Frew works in a process orientated manner in order to explore cultural and social associations with objects used in daily life. Through de-constructing objects, Frew re-constructs them into wearable objects, that when worn on the boy encourage the wearer and audience to consider possible alternative futures.
