In her artwork, Fiona Harmen is interested in real and imagined experiences of the Australian suburban landscape. She works with painting and drawing to explore the duality of menace and comfort in suburbia, alluding to underlying secrets, longings and atmospherics of place and home.

Harmen uses a combination of representation and abstraction to employ ambiguity in a way that encourages an associative freedom with common motifs of house facades, playing grounds and swimming pools.
