Artist Statement
Claudia Fieo's prints consider the complex tensions between humanity and the natural world. Through her work she seeks to highlight the potential for reconciliation in the face of accelerating environmental and ecological crises. Drawing inspiration from semiotics, poetry, metaphysics, environmental philosophy, and engineering, Fieo employs ancient and contemporary symbols and structures to serve as metaphorical “signifiers” calling for action. The bell, marking a quickening of time, tolls a warning; the labyrinth, with its purposeful yet serpentine path wending toward center, signifies a quest for equilibrium.
