Skin Soil & Spirit
Skin Soil & Spirit
Aoife Fia is an Irish artist whose work celebrates the wonder of God's creation. Grounded in traditional plant-fibre papermaking and colouring with natural pigments, she creates biodegradable paintings, sculpture, book art, and installation.
Sensitivity to presence is central to the artist's meditations on embodiment, sanctification, freedom, and joy. The limits set by using only body-friendly materials, pools intimacy and simplicity of form; and with the person of Jesus her true north, all work speaks of new life.
Born in 1976 in Northern Ireland, she studied Fine Art for five years in England and Dublin and is now a homesteader on the West Coast of Ireland.
