For over three decades, Fiona Longhurst has cultivated a distinctive visual language grounded in pattern, repetition, and colour. A longstanding artist in the Arts Project Australia studio since 1991, her practice has evolved with quiet persistence, producing a compelling body of work. Her intricate fields of mark-making are animated by recurring motifs — floral forms, delicate compositional arrangements, and text. Through intuitive layering and patterning, Longhurst builds a personal visual lexicon. Co-published by Perimeter Editions and Arts Project Australia, this is Longhurst's first major book and traces her drawing, painting, and collage work across decades of studio practice. The publication takes the form of a workbook and celebrates Longhurst's enduring contribution to the studio and the broader contemporary art landscape, offering insight into an artist whose evolving practice is defined by tenderness, a nuanced use of colour, and a quietly compelling sense of introspection.
