Frances Richardson describes her sculptural works as “walk-in drawings”. The intent is that
the viewer becomes part of an imaginary field within actual space. In this field tables, chairs,
I-beams, floorboards, carpets, beds etc. are “drawn” using MDF/plywood in 3 dimensions.
Paired down to structural forms they effect through their physical presence, denying the
seduction of surface histories.
