PRACTICE
Direct work en plein air is central to Frances' practice. She feels her way into the particularity of each site with all her senses. Frances has moved her home and her studio into Weymouth, Dorset. She is still based along the Chesil Beach but it is Portland that sits in front of her home now. She sees the sea every morning when she wakes up.
'Place provides pigment and tools. Weather, tide and season animate, reveal and conceal. I document collect, participate, play. Materials shift hourly, daily, yearly and over millennia.
Work is generated en plein air: site materials enter and inhabit the work: each piece is particular and provisional. Cellophane sits with the Cenozoic.'

PEOPLE IN A LANDSCAPE- POETRY FOR A SUMMER EVENING
People in a Landscape - Poetry for a Summer's Evening
Wednesday 10 July 7.30pm
I’m delighted to be reading some of my poems alongside Paul Hyland, Catherine Simmonds and Pam Zinnemann-Hope.
My paintings will paintings be showing at Sladers Yard as part of the Igniting Sight exhibition of contemporary artists inspired by JMW Turner.
I have always woven words and images in my sketchbook pages. Making shape in word as well through images has evolved quite organically. Only recently have I called them poems. These written responses to the experience of landscape and life events beyond the sketchbook page have become integrated into my plein air practice. I have selected poems to reflect the spirit of the show.
Wednesday 10 July 7.30pm. Tickets: £12 or £30 with a delicious buffet dinner from 6pm.
Please call 01308 459511 for tickets.
