Frances Drayson

About

My practice spans sculpture and installation, video, sound, drawing, writing, performance and photography. Through my work I explore possibilities of expression, and ways in which it's restricted. 

The installations I make often refer to the restraint and repetition found in churches, industrial farming and minimalism. Video, sound, drawing and photographic works express voices or characters trying to undermine their own representation. 

I exhibit my work nationally and internationally and have my writing published through Art Reviews and JOAN publishing. I graduated from Royal Academy Schools (PGDip 2019), Slade School of Art (BA Hons 2010) and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (Foundation Dip 2004). I am currently a senior lecturer in Fine Art at Kingston School of Art.
