Shirley Fife

Edinburgh based who starts by going for a walk, often by the sea, immerses self in place & acutely aware of my surroundings.

Drawn to the things that are often overlooked; the discarded abandoned objects & floating kelp & seaweed.

Inspired by Wabi Sabi “beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, incomplete, modest, humble & unconventional ” Leonard Koren.

Embrace the challenge of using natural & found manmade materials to create with, applying a light touch, extending the life cycle, allowing each pieces to tell their story.
