biography
Fiona Robertson is a lecturer in the Painting and Printmaking department, whose expanded painting practice encompasses performance, film, drawing and sculpture. Her work explores the collisions between the social, technical and ecological systems (and crises) within which we live and the subconscious, pre-rational and intuitive nature of art-making. Across mediums, Fiona draws out this tension in overlapping, non-linear narratives mapping the boundaries of the "human"- whether in physical landscapes, memories or dreams.
Her experimental film work has been premiered at International Competitions including Oberhausen Short Film Festival and Go Short. Recent Solo exhibitions include 'more than a feeling...’, Beacon Arts Centre (2025), SALTHOUSE (2024), Garnethill Gallery, GSA, and titbits also Glasgow (2023). She regularly collaborate with performance and theatre makers and has curated exhibitions and events (see beggarsteeth.com). Her site-specific sculpture 'GREEN MAN' is located in Glasgow's Necropolis. Recent publications include a book of drawings 'INSIDE JOB, Memories of an Art School'.
