Frances is an artist living and working in London. Through a practice of sculpture, drawing and painting she explores the interplay between the states of focused attention and reverie and between the conscious and the unconscious. She works compositionally with found objects and organic materials such as leather, vellum and horsehair and employs processes of pattern cutting, hand stitching and assemblage. Works often incorporate fabricated elements that are playfully arranged and rearranged before they rest in a final composition, engendering tensions between movement and stillness.
Frances holds a BA in Modelmaking from Arts University Bournemouth and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art. In 2017 a QEST Scholarship enabled her to train in hand sewn shoemaking where she further developed the processes that underpin her work.
She has exhibited internationally at fairs including TEFAF Maastricht, NL and FOG Design + Art, San Francisco, USA with Sarah Myerscough Gallery and has been included in group exhibitions at Crafts Council Gallery, London; Standpoint Gallery, London; Cromwell Place, London, and Make Hauser & Wirth, Somerset, among others.
