Mi-Mi Fitzsimmons
Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)
Time stretches as the lines of thread interleave the gaps and opacities;
sentiment and sentimentality osmotically embedded—intersections,
connection, trace—lines drawn out end to end; to who?
Mi-Mi's practice utilises drawing and textile-based techniques, particularly weaving—often incorporating found or collected animal-derived objects. With a particular interest in slow process and an ongoing practice of gathering and reflection, she investigates fundamental ideas of time, connection, memory, ephemerality and ethereality. The work assigns value to remnant, trace and unseen process(es); microcosm and macrocosm the field of repetition—a shadow play enactment of dedication and labour immersed in time.
