Her work is represented in many collections in the UK& abroad including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Philadelphia Museum,The Arts Council of England, Tate Gallery, London and the Walker Art Gallery,Minneapolis.
Much of Fiona Banner’s work stems from her fascination with the nearimpossibility of containing action and time in a language. Her 'wordscapes' or'still films' take the form of blow-by blow accounts written in her own wordsof feature films or sequences of events. Her practice encompasses sculpture,drawing and installation. Underlying her art is an interest in language as aform of communication and, in turn, the transference of language, of speech intoa purely visual form or register.
