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.'
