Fiona Hingston – “Local Artist”

I’m posting this about an exhibition a friend of mine, Fiona Hingston, is having in what was once The Mendip Hospital Sanatorium. She’s called it “Local Artist”, because that’s what she is, and also as a riposte to someone who said at ‘Make’ – the Hauser and Wirth gallery on Bruton High Street – in a rather derogatory tone, ‘oh, but she’s a local artist’. That information alone would have been enough to take me to the exhibition.
