b. 1990, United Kingdom
“My works explore temporal and material junctures and act as a place for reflection and revisitation – blending impressions from personal narrative, memory, emotion and dream. Through making I experience the interplay between states of focused attention and reverie, and sculptures often engender tension between movement and stillness. Working compositionally with organic materials including leather, vellum and horsehair, I use found objects and metallic elements in juxtaposition. Technical processes of pattern cutting and hand stitching underpin my making and works draw from a breadth of reference including art history, literature, puppetry, music, dance, and garment making.” Frances Pinnock
