Unique New Zealand Inspired Feather Artwork
Internationally Recognised Artist, Fiona Kerr Gedson believes beauty resonates at a higher frequency than non-beauty; “I want my work to be beautiful.”
Fiona works from her home near Ōpōtiki, in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, within the boundaries of the Whakatōhea Iwi. Having also grown up in Tāneatua & Rūātoki, within the presence of the Tūhoe people, she acknowledges that these relationships have contributed to her perspective on life. She shares her home with her two daughters and has two sons that have recently left home.
Fiona has created for as long as she can remember. “Grandma collected masses of fabulous resources for us to use, and always my creations were proudly displayed in her home. We had a family friend who worked for a carpet company and he generously supplied me with wool – one ball of my finger knitting could go round our house twice!”
Fiona’s meticulously crafted feather pieces have been described by Curators as “meditative and encompassing of many cultures”; that they are “an expression of her family, life-stages & spirituality”.
She counts herself fortunate that she is well represented throughout New Zealand and has had the opportunity to participate in international group exhibitions. Her art awards are many and Fiona’s work is now recognised worldwide with it being held in many overseas collections; Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Canada, Scotland, China, Britain, U.S.A, Australia.
Words by Fiona Kerr Gedson on GE Mandala
Mathematical thinking is not what many perceive it to be: boring. Mathematical thinking is a way of enhancing creativity, of problem solving in real life situations. Fundamentally, Math’s is Quality in relationships.
I’m paraphrasing Mark Todd, of the Ockham Foundation, after hearing him interviewed on National Radio. Here is a Mathematician who is using his thinking to create positive solutions and contributions to society.
I found this inspiring. I have Geometrically Enhanced these Mandalas with the hope of expanding Quality Relationships and Positive Contributions: let’s meditate on that!
