MICROCOSM

“My mixed media reliefs express life through its details, textures or fragments as a metaphor for the world at large. I play with the idea of the microcosm to explore the interconnections that make up life within my real and imagined worlds. Transformation, fragmentation, emergence and growth, are expressed as changing states. Water is a feature in the imagery. From years of observing reefs, tidal movements, and environmental changes- wild nature is my muse. In my works a kaleidoscope of layered patterns and textures express movement and fragmentation. Life is in a state of flux and transformation where coral-like forms combine with architectural forms.” – Fiona Murphy.
