Through sculpture, painting and drawing, Frances Pinnock explores the interplay between the temporal and the material, between the conscious and the unconscious, and between the states of focused attention and reverie. As the body retains tensions, emotions, memories and dreams, so her works act as a holding place for reflection and revisitation.
Moving between media, Pinnock employs a range of processes both light and labour intensive and draws references from her background in accessories construction and puppetry. She works with specialist materials such as oak tanned leather and vellum, alongside metallic elements and found objects. Her sculptures evolve slowly and compositionally through pattern cutting and technical hand stitching, while her paintings occupy a space of intuitive gesture and materiality.Frances Pinnock (b, 1990, Bristol, UK) is a visual artist living and working in London.
