Speculations on Belonging IV, 2025
Fisher’s practice investigates the nuances of belonging, intimacy, and care through a multidisciplinary approach. Working primarily with monotype prints, her work explores the reciprocal nature of human connection how offering warmth is essential to receiving it. She delves into the emotional atmospheres of domestic and intimate spaces, using texture, layered color, and intentional absences to evoke states of suffusion, distance, longing, and protection. Her prints function as speculative spaces that question how identities and histories shape our capacity to feel at home with others and ourselves.
Speculations on Belonging is a series of monotype prints which explores the reciprocal nature of care—how we must offer warmth in order to receive it. In this body of work, she explores how intimacy, vulnerability, and the desire for connection are mediated through everyday gestures and the spaces we inhabit.
The prints depict quiet, often ambiguous moments that unfold in domestic or intimate settings—places where tenderness and solitude frequently coexist.
By engaging with the personal and the ephemeral, Speculations on Belonging asks: What does it mean to offer warmth? What is the cost of receiving it? And how do our identities and histories shape our capacity to feel at home—with others and with ourselves?
