Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery

About This Artwork

Delighting in paradox and infatuated with the detail, Frances’s work playfully challenges our concepts of the undesirable and the unremarkable within the context of bodily adornment. From apparently conventional jewellery that on closer examination is constructed entirely from tiny insects, to seemingly accidental splashes and stains that subtly glitter with gems, she creates visual contradictions that test the rules of fine jewellery and of attraction, mischievously exploring the tension and delight that are found when the familiar becomes deliciously strange. Look closer. Little is what it seems…Frances is a recent Royal College of Art graduate with an MA in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery, 2008. She has been selected to take part in Curiouser and Curiouser – New British Graduates, an exhibition with a Wonderland theme at Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery 13th November 2008 – 30th January 2009
