Frances Cordero de Bolaños

Artist Statement

Frances’ art practice has taken an investigation of a personal and collective memory of violence, oppression, death, and displacement. Through her drawings, paintings, and three-dimensional works, the human body and other familiar objects are transformed into ambiguous and disturbing evidence of loss, pain, and violence. She creates three-dimensional forms that reflect on the fragile boundary between life and death. Frances’ works with various mediums, including felt making and explores the characteristics of the material and transforms it into unexpected shapes. These forms are heightened with colour and are often suspended from the ceiling. Her approach begins with traditional handwork techniques that are altered to fit the medium and intended expression. Frances’ sculptural journey attempts to visualize the intangible of which she is invested in exploring.
​ 

Frances Cordero de Bolaños is interested in various issues, and her work has explored nature, sports, women issues, violence, conflict, and war. 
Frances works are playful, dark and somewhat grotesques. She uses a variety of media and techniques to express her ideas and concerns.
