Fiona makes slab-built Sculptural Ceramics influenced by modernism. She has also developed a range of slipcast cups and mugs using her Brutalist prints which are sold in local craft galleries.
Brutalist architecture and mass housing provide the imagery from which Fiona creates geometric and architectural sculptural forms. Modernism starting with Le Corbusier’s, “Unite d’Habitation, was followed by idealistic architects designing modern “streets in the sky” like Park Hill, Sheffield and The Barbican complex.
Her work is created from the photos and images of these buildings, which are used to create a narrative combining, ceramic forms, surface prints and colour.
She has a unique way of under-glaze transfer printing onto her hand-built ceramics, influenced by Josiah Spode’s original 18th century method but with a modern twist. She works from her studio near Lowestoft, where she creates her hand-built and slip cast ceramics with print.
