Fiona Naomi Cashell (b. Dublin, Ireland, 1981) is a lens-based interdisciplinary artist using digital and hybrid practices to explore the boundaries and artistic use of video and sound, performance, photography, text, textile and print. Work created is usually situational in context – utilizing the immediate environment and drawing from personal narratives and interests such as memory, attachment, distance, otherness, place and exile. Research within her practice also includes philosophy and psychology, with a specific focus on phenomenology, otherness, sense, consciousness, metaphysicality and cognitive aesthetics.

 

Fiona is a professional member of the Teaching Council of Ireland and Visual Artists Ireland, and serves as an advisory board member for SAH Journal (Ireland)She exhibits widely, and her work has been shown in institutions such as Anthology Film Archives, New York; West African Research Center,  Senegal; Temple Bar Cultural Trust, Ireland and CICA Art Museum, Korea.
