Frances Richardson Enter the Object

This exhibition of Chinese ink drawings by British sculptor Frances Richardson (b.1965) represents a small fragment of her studio output. Known for large scale concrete canvas installations and mdf and corex constructions, the exhibition of drawings is the outcome of the artists contemplation of objects both real and imagined which began during the UK lockdown. Buckets, jugs, balloons, envelopes and discarded nitrous oxide canisters are some of the objects recorded with brush and ink. Unable to erase marks made, the drawings are analogous to the process of carving.
“For Frances Richardson (b. 1965, Leeds) stopping to measure the objects that surround us, reasoning on their constituent lines, is a way to reflect on ourselves, after we have more or less adopted them, to the point of letting them represent us.” – Irina Zucca Alessandrelli
