'Fiona West: The Marvellous and Magical: Collage and the Moving Image'

The marvellous and magical are characteristics of both puppetry and surrealism used by Fiona West within her ongoing investigations into lived experiences of displacement and belonging. West’s exhibition features large-scale photographs and intimate projections that are handcrafted using a collage and puppet typology. Visual tricks, nostalgia, childhood desires, dreams and memories create a sense of whimsy and the fantastical that underpins West’s migratory experiences.
