Fion’s work is clearly that of one accustomed to living and seeing far beyond the limitations of the rational mind.
She embodies the archetype of a true artist: one who awakens us all to see ideas with new eyes and feel emotions that were always there but which we could not articulate before with any clarity or power. We cannot transform anything in our lives, in our cities and in our countries without shifting our perspective first. Fion’s work is a key to that transformation.
