5 7 3 Float Fall Petals 10 Trees / Fiona Longhurst

For over three decades, Fiona Longhurst has cultivated a distinctive visual language grounded in pattern, repetition, and colour. A longstanding artist in the Arts Project Australia studio since 1991, her practice has evolved with quiet persistence, producing a compelling body of work. Her intricate fields of mark-making are animated by recurring motifs – floral forms, delicate compositional arrangements, and text. Through intuitive layering and patterning, Longhurst builds a personal visual lexicon. Co-published by Perimeter Editions and Arts Project Australia, 5 7 3 Float Fall Petals 10 Trees is Longhurst’s first major book, and traces her drawing, painting, and collage work across decades of studio practice. The publication – which takes the form of a workbook – features an essay by Jo Salt and is designed by Narelle Brewer for Perimeter Bureau.
