My practice is intentionally protean; exploring materiality, instability and corporeality. My recent works represent attempts to operationalise the highly abstract theories found in modern philosophy. Low hierarchy substances, and materials disturbed from their former authority are the cornerstone of my practice. Deeper realities that lie beneath the perceivable surfaces emerge and a material ‘life’ is uncovered. The medium is the message. The work addresses the burden of humankind upon the earth and the possibility of aesthetic experience to provide an oblique approach to a veiled reality.

"Fillary explores speculative realism and the darkly weird in her sculpture, painting and performance practices. Materially oriented, her work examines abjection, the periphery of social codes of normativity and the exhilaration of destruction".
