Fiona Ferguson’s exhibition This Way Up explores the multifaceted and fragmented nature of memory, through the layering and blending of photographic images. Fiona combines multiple layers – sometimes up to 30 or more – in order to achieve her finished works. Reordering the layers can produce a completely different outcome, much like our memories can shift and change, or be disparate from person to person.

Delving into concepts of consciousness, her memories of colour, and more recently, grief, this is a deeply personal exhibition.

ABOUT FIONA FERGUSON

Fiona Ferguson is an Eora/Sydney based Australian artist, engaging slow image-making techniques to compile digital archives of her original images that celebrate the colours, textures and shapes she has gathered over a lifetime of looking and observing.

Densely and intuitively layered, her works at times incorporate up to 20 or 30 photographs in one seemingly singular image. Walking a line between serendipity and intention in her exploration of abstraction, she searches for an embodiment of emotive moments and memories – colour tethering her work to the ebbs and flows of her own emotional journeys. Drawing on that sentimentality and evocation of memory through colour, she produces often vibrant works that she hopes will trigger emotional responses in her audience.
