Church Lane, Norfolk. Collaged drawing by Fran Squires

Fran Squires is an East Anglian storyteller who uses textiles, print making, drawing and salvaged remnants to tell her narratives. She works in a very organic way letting the stories unfold in a loose graphic style with painterly details. Drawn to patterns in the world around her, she transposes these into pictorial artworks that attract the eye and pique curiosity.

After studying Surface Pattern at university, she went on to work as a designer, then technician at Norwich University of the Arts. Fran is now a full-time artist devoting her time to exploring new ways to tell her stories.

For the Spirit of Place exhibition Fran has focused on creating a series of 6 pictures that reflect daily walks around her village.

The Spirit of Place exhibition aims to be a thought provoking show where the artwork  engages on a deeper level than just the aesthetic. It embraces the notion of 'place' as can be interpreted not only as a location, but as a way of being or a concept.

For this unusual show, Utopia have brought together three artists who responded to the brief in different ways.  They each chose to express what the essence of place means to them through very different media: metal, ceramic and collage.
