Here are some images from our show ‘Place Displace’ showing how our work has evolved as a result of the Tokyo exchange last summer. During the summer of 2009, fourteen students from Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges (CCW) at the University of the Arts London travelled to Tokyo, to participate in a […]

So here’s a clip of me on the program House Gift on ITV1 which was aired on my birthday! I had a nice little chat with Laurence Llewelyn Bowen and he said that he really liked my work. He liked its nostalgic element and my use of colour and space. He was at Wimbledon College […]

The Astounding Problem of Andrew Novick

Posted: Friday, February 5th, 2010 @ 3:51 pm in Art, Fiona Long, General | No Comments »

Over the past year or so, I have become increasingly fascinated in collections and hoarding behaviour. This incredible exhibiton of Andrew Novick’s collection of collections shows just a fraction of what he has accumulated. To him, the only problem is having the space to display it all. He collects everything from Barbie dolls to dead […]

Down at the Crypts

Posted: Monday, November 2nd, 2009 @ 4:45 pm in Art, Fiona Long, General | 1 Comment »

I really enjoyed taking part in the WAM exhibition at the Crypt Gallery under St Pancras Church. It was great to see my Post Consumer Material Culture work in another context. It was such a different setting to using a gallery wall and was really interesting to see the contrasts. There were physical constraints like […]

I was lucky enough to be phoned up the other day and invited to show some of my paintings at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. It’s a great space with nice open internal architecture and there is alot of art; paintings hanging on the walls and sculptures suspended in spaces between floors. My work is along […]

Tokyo…Day 1

Apologies that it’s been soooo long since my last post! I did intend to blog every day when I was away in Tokyo but I had such a hectic time that I rarely got more than four hours sleep so, as you can imagine, I didn’t get much blogging done! Then I’ve been catching up […]
