April 2004: Fiona Symes - William Morris is Dead



DIGITALIS present: WILLIAM MORRIS IS DEAD by Fiona Symes. laser-cut black vinyl, skateboard grip tape & spraymount

April 2004

'William Morris Is Dead' is a visual critique of the death of British socialism and of visual arts being stripped of all contents other than aesthetics. It brings together the handmade (in manipulation of digital images & installation) and the industrial ( in innovative use of materials).

Fiona Symes was born in Exeter, Devon in 1966. After attending art college from 1996 to 2000, she worked on a number of artists' projects, such as Year Zero and The King Mob Collective as an experimental film maker; experiences that lead her to vow to never make art again. She produced The Endless Landscape mail art book in 2000.
