"With this book, curator and art historian Alan Wilkinson offers the first retrospective monograph solely devoted to Fiona McIntyre. Working across a vast range of media—from printmaking to charcoal, from light painting to acrylic and oil, McIntyre has proved a versatile artist eager to reinvent her visual idiom and to engage with motifs, material and forms in subtle and sophisticated ways. Taking us through the main periods of her career, the book provides a fascinating insight into the dynamics of an artist’s vision, its inflections and structuring paradigms...The “tree within” of the monograph’s title is also that of a poem by Octavio Paz, translated by Eliot Weinberger and which McIntyre’s acknowledges as one of the lasting inspirations underlying her work. The monograph concludes on the poem which calls for greater attentiveness to the budding of passion, that “tree within” whose “tangled foliage” becomes the texture of thoughts. Like Paz’s poem, Wilkinson’s book is a work of attentiveness to the understated and yet intense work of an artist whose roots reach deep down into the layered strata of English art."
