Boniwell, will facilitate a gestural life drawing workshop in Gallery II with models performing martial art forms. I am eager to work with members of the public of all ages, to hear about their experiences, thoughts and feelings on the subject of physical movement as it pertains to them.

Running to a Pause, a pause for thought and reflection. In this multidisciplinary visual art project, Fiona Boniwell seeks to examine the theme of physical movement and her changing relationship with it as it relates to her own body over time. Fiona has always been physically active, recently focusing on martial arts in tandem with her visual arts practice. During her residency at Uillinn in 2024, Fiona will explore this theme through studio-based drawing sessions with a view to creating a new body of work arising from the research and collaborative studio sessions at Uillinn.
