Fiona McIntyre: Sacred Earth is a journey through the landscapes of the North Atlantic – Iceland, Scotland, Spain – places that have inspired artist McIntyre since 1993. This book consolidates deeply personal experiences with universal themes. Through painting, drawing, and print, it explores spiritual and mythical beliefs that resonate across cultures and ancient landscapes, and which the artist transmutes from physical matter into art. Rejecting modern synthetic paint, McIntyre began the process of processing and mulling mineral pigments and foraged oxides from riverbanks into paint. This hands-on process of connecting directly with Earth is a central motif, resulting in a body of numinous work. The mineral pigments have a translucent quality, as if capturing the light and memory of the landscapes from which they were sourced. This unique medium becomes a thread that ties the work together, imbued with an awareness of the fragility of precious ecosystems and ancestral memory. McIntyre’s goal is to make authentic art that unites us all with our shared origins on this planet.
