Two really gorgeous accordions from Frances Law an artist who lives on the edge of the Scottish Highlands outside of Dundee. This location deeply informs her practice, of which she writes:
"My current work explores the archaeological and mythic undercurrents of the landscape where I live and travel to in Scotland. Walking in the landscape and connecting to ancestral voices through maps, stories and language, I work with drawing, print-making and collage overlaying textures, symbols and universal imagery in an attempt to understand the spiritual relationship between people, the land and nature". About her more recent work she writes "My focus has grown and evolved from the observation of the small intimate workings of nature into an exploration of our relationship to place, and the narratives deeply embodied within the landscape".
These two works really pulse with an awe, a dignity and a respect for the natural world, coupled with the fact that they are one-of-a-kind hand-made objects, which lends them a special intimacy upon encountering and handling them.
