PRACTICE
Direct work en plein air is central to Frances' site-responsive practice. She attends to the particularity of each sensory experience of place. The studio has moved to Weymouth, Dorset- behind the Chesil Beach as before- but it is Portland Harbour that sits in front of her now. She touches base with the sea every morning.
'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. Site materials enter and inhabit the work: each piece is particular and provisional. Cellophane sits with the Cenozoic.'
