She works from her studio in the effervescent east quadrant of the capital.<\/span><\/span>
\nFrancesca has dedicated the last 10 years refining her craft working on projects between Birmingham and Rome.<\/span>
\nShe explores wood as her prime material in all its forms and has developed a delicate harmony aesthetic of soft shapes identifiable both on sculptures as on objects to wear. Her intention is to draw the viewer to a tactile approach through sinuous lines, playing on textures, contrasts, of abstract and asymmetric shapes often sensual.<\/span>
\nFrancesca exhibits her work internationally and is represented by<\/span> Alternatives Gallery<\/a> \u2013 no-gram<\/a><\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1661875835419{padding-top: 25px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1669802451942{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]PROCESS<\/strong><\/span>
\nFrancesca\u2019s process is heavily influenced by her curiosity about those metamorphisms which very slowly happen in nature related to passage of time. She declines those phenomenons into sculptural, three-dimensional shapes, with their bulk and organic look, and even if she decides to change the theme the red thread carries on.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1669802451942{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1320″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1669802451942{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]EDUCATION<\/strong>
