Statement
In her oil paintings, Fiona collects the objects and creatures that attract her eye - much like a satin bowerbird gathers trinkets. By presenting them together, the artist is attempting to create works of beauty, as icons of a sort, venerating the extraordinary relationships that can form between humans and other species.
