THE
BOOK
My messy musings on my mixed media mash ups.
Things that make me tick + tick me off. AND…
I f*cked it… but I fixed it. Series.
A Note From Fi.
This is where the scraps, tangents, wrong turns and half-mad ideas come to play.
Part artist diary, part creative confessional, part “I f*cked it… but I fixed it” field notes.
Expect messy musings, upcycled experiments, thrifted things given another chance, mixed media mash-ups, and the occasional opinion about what ticks me off.
Welcome to The Artist’s Book — the place where the work gets to talk back.

CUTTING
CORNERS
Things that make me tick + tick me off
Cutting corners on the road ticks me right off. It’s lazy, unsafe, and usually makes someone else deal with the mess.
But in the studio? That’s a different story.
Sometimes a shortcut, a mistake, a wonky mark or a “well, that didn’t go to plan” moment is exactly what pushes the work somewhere better.
The Cross Hare T-shirt started as a thrifted piece with more life left in it. A second chance. A bit of attitude. A reminder that rushing doesn’t always get you there faster — and sometimes the thing you nearly ruin becomes the best bit.
F*CKED IT… FIXED IT!
A dodgy font, a spray-paint mishap, and one very opinionated jacket.
When a wearable art commission for Kirsty started going sideways, I leaned into the mess instead of fighting it. A lettering fix turned into overspray, drips, heart templates, and a whole new direction for the piece.
