About

Fiona Hingston lives and works in a small village on the edge of the Mendip Hills. Much of her work has been informed by this rural landscape with her relationship to it deepening year on year. There is always something new to investigate, to archive and to celebrate through a methodology of collecting, making and drawing.

As a multi-disciplinary artist she works in various media that includes installation, constructed textiles, painting, books, print and drawing. Each discipline is informed the transference of knowledge gained from others and she sees this cross fertilisation as a positive and motivating force in her working methods.

Materiality and process are at the core of her practice.

I want a relationship with the materials I’m using, of developing personal connections that deepens my intimacy and knowledge of a particular area, of trying to get the best from it - an honouring of place and people.
