Fiona Roberts sculpts human body parts in places you wouldn’t expect #ArtTuesday

Three cheers to the awesome works of Fiona Roberts, particularly Emergence via Hi•Fructose:

My work focuses on the challenges we face by inhabiting a body that is constantly changing,
decaying and regenerating, as well as the fragility and limitations that are intrinsic to all living
organisms. Within this, I explore the dysfunctional relationship between the mind and body,
and in particular, the mind’s discordant perception of the body, which includes concepts of
dislocation, emotional projection, fluctuating perceptions, fears, phobias and paranoia.
Thus, with the body set as a canvas for trauma, my work becomes a series of flesh events
that are visceral, tactile and faintly haunting.
