Frances Arnold creates abstract prints inspired by landscapes and architecture that playfully alter perception. Arnold combines her love of drawing with the physicality of printmaking to convey a textured, pastel-like quality in her screenprints. Her subtle use of embossing to accentuate voids and colours alters our perception. She is fascinated by the convergence of multiple perspectives; shifting the eye between illusions of space and reality of ink on paper. Her minimalist prints explore the image in constant flux. Architectural lines hold textured, block colour in geometric forms. Her prints convey a fine balance between control and imperfection, containment and release.
