Fionn Duffy

 
 

Fionn Duffy uses objects, video and text to create spiralling narratives that explore the ethical and ecological concerns at stake when considering the porous relationship between bodies and material

Often working in collaboration with artists, enthusiasts and researchers, and always teetering on the edge of failure, she re-frames cultural, mineral and historic research, bringing it into confrontation with current systems of production, ownership and ontological wrangling.

Fionn graduated from the MFA at Glasgow School of Art in 2020. Recent exhibitions and projects include A Mineral Dance: Or How to Become Glass, with Lyth Arts Center and North Lands Creative (2021), Crash of Temporalities, Gallery Art Trace, Tokyo (2021) and The Space Between Two Points, The Bows, Calgary (2020).

She has participated in a number of residencies with organisations including Scottish Sculpture Workshop (2020); Siobhan Davies Dance, London (2018); The Banff Center, Alberta (2017); and Art Centre Ongoing, Tokyo (2016). Recent writing has been published by Blank Cheque Press, Vancouver (2021) and Bog: The Issue of Dust, London (2020).
