Pippa Healy + Alice Sheppard Fidler
Pippa Healy is a photographic artist based in London. Her practice is primarily diaristic. It is concerned with themes around loss, longing, violence and grief. Her work has been exhibited internationally and her zines are part of the Tate Gallery Martin Parr Foundation and the MEP in Paris. She is the recipient of the 2020 Bainbridge Studio Prize and a finalist for The Signature Art Prize 2021.
Alice Sheppard Fidler’s conceptual art practice utilises and transforms found and recycled materials and spaces to navigate the fragile boundaries between place, human experience, and between states of being. Working across installation, sculpture and performance, she has received the 2023 Gilbert Bayes Sculpture Award following her first solo show in Italy, 2022. Born in 1966 in UK, she lives and works in Gloucestershire.

‘Walk(ing) and talk(ing) through walls’ (2023)
Signed Limited edition hand sewn Zine printed on Hahnemuhle paper (A5)
Taking ‘Walking Through Walls’ the memoir of Marina Abramovic as our guide for the project, we immersed ourselves in her words and worlds. We exchanged ideas and responded to her tangled life and practice. Working individually, we sought to bring our lives together by creating a collaborative piece consisting of photographs and text that would interact when combined in book form.

Reflections on peer to peer mentoring
Pippa Healy + Alice Sheppard Fidler
Abramovic talks about the space between being a zone open to destiny. We were interested in the space between ourselves, both digital and physical. We were strangers beforehand yet on zoom our blond hair, glasses and similar age were all things familiar. Abramovic works with pain, honesty, drama and presence. It became clear these are shared themes in our work, Pippa using experience and memory as narrative, Alice using the body to investigate states of being. As we were propelled into the zone between, we chose to adopt an Abramovic approach to make and share work together – make it simple, increase contact, remove barriers.
