Fiona Campbell: Multimedia Sculpture and Environmental Art

Fiona Campbell is a Somerset-based multimedia artist & sculptor whose practice cents on environmental sustainability and the cyclical nature of life. A Member of Royal Society of Sculptors, she creates intricate, labour-intensive installations using a diverse range of recycled, found, and organic materials. Her work blurs the lines between sculpture, drawing, and textiles, resulting in immersive 'drawings in space' that reflect on human exploitation of nature and the climate crisis. Fiona Campbell has received significant recognition for her work, including the Gilbert Bayes Award and Red Line Art Works Award. Notable projects like 'Glut', and 'Martyrdom of the Ten Thousand' demonstrate her ability to transform discarded objects into poignant commentaries on consumption and biodiversity. Her site-responsive installations have been featured in diverse settings, from the historic B-Wing of Shepton Mallet Prison to high ceilings of Chichester Cathedral. Beyond her studio practice, Fiona Campbell is deeply involved in community engagement and education. She curates large-scale collaborative projects:( 'step in stone', 'The Gleaning'), which link culture, environment, and community. Her work is characterised by a process of weaving, wrapping - metaphors for the interconnectedness in the natural world. By utilising ancient craft techniques to address contemporary ecological concerns, Fiona Campbell invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with matter and the environment.
