SENSING PLACE. Bridport Arts 18 April- 6 June 2026

A solo exhibition of ‘place palettes’, sketchbooks and paintings made along the Jurassic coastline over the last 20 years. Sensing Place focuses on Frances Hatch’s process as a plein air painter and the ‘place palettes’ she makes at Dorset coastal locations using found earths, clays, organic matter and man-made materials like litter. Accompanied by written and painted notes, the palettes become portraits of place that inform her paintings, a small number of which will be on show in the exhibition. Working outside and combining these found materials with water-based media, such as watercolour, acrylic and gouache, Frances allows the weather – rain, snow, humidity, wind, sun – to participate in the shaping of the work. Infused with the geology of each place, traces of weather, circumstance and happenstance, the palettes and paintings are witness to and a record of time spent with the ever-changing Jurassic coast.
