Fran has always played with cloth, loving its variety, physicality and versatility . After a digression into Art and Design education she has rediscovered freehand machine stitching allowing her to draw freely onto the fabric creating images to share personal experiences and histories of familiar landscapes. The images are made using found or salvaged fabrics, by building up multiple layers, then cutting them away revealing forgotten surfaces,colours,edges and textures. Fran lives and works in York, producing work for commission, sale and exhibition individually or with the York Textile Artists, hosting private workshops and for the Viking Loom Ltd.
