works by Fiona McElhany
HP WINDOW GALLERY | DECEMBER 8, 2022 – DECEMBER 31, 2022 | OPENING RECEPTION: December 15, 5-7PM
no worries is an interactive installation where guests are invited to experience a new scent Fiona formulated for the display, as well as record their thoughts and reactions using the collaborative “memory machine” she made with Niko Millias. The recordings will be saved and archived by the artist.
Artist Statement: Scent is one way to communicate that recognizes there is more to say without words. Perfume
represents a choice to share or express without sound.
Putting words to a scent might give more intention or meaning to what’s happening around you,
and open a sincere way to talk in the present moment. People don’t change and have access to a
greater sense of self purpose when honest with their own presence and interactions with others.
Bio: Fiona McElhany (Reno, NV) graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2018 with a degree in
printmaking and chemistry. Her work explores sharing and participation through work typically made in
multiples or textiles.
