Niamh Fahy is an artist specialising in Print and photography , currently based in Bristol, her practice explores ideas of transformation, connection and absence. Her work begins with a physical connection to landscape and the embodied experience. Sensual and instinctive, her visual language veils, interrupts, blurs and reveals layers of information from the landscapes interior. She examines dichotomies of movement and stillness, silence and noise, harmony and dissonance, alluding to the continuously changing cycles of landscape and deep time. She reconsiders the connection between the solid and the fragmented, what is now separated was once connected, what was once the deepest ocean now forms the highest peak. “Terra firm becomes Terra Mobilis”
