frances law

Frances studied at the Glasgow School of Art and graduated in 1980 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art.  Her work has been exhibited since 1995 in and around Scotland as well as Holland, France and the US, where some are in private collections.  In 2008 Frances won First Prize in the Scottish National Art Competition, and the Perth and Kinross Council/Scottish Arts Council Artist’s Award in 2005.

Nearly all of Frances’ work is based on her travels along the coastal fringes of Scotland. Each different experience is then expressed through a mixture of methods and materials, and found every artifact is seen to hold a unique history that is brought into each work.

“My primary concern is to enhance awareness of the nature of being, offering the viewer a lens, a way of looking which refracts a reality concealed from our everyday perceptions.  By looking beyond appearance, beyond conditioning, seeing becomes a radical act revealing the timelessness of present and past.  Living within one culture, divided from itself, without any need to relate to nature in order to survive, our industrialized economies have in many ways prevented the human condition from making any deep rooted, meaningful relationship with itself.”

“My work is the coming together of methods, materials and ideas; fragments of the past, present and future.  The work stands as an open invitation to all who wish to explore their relationships, to their environment, to each other and to themselves, to their pasts and their futures.”
