Francesca’s multidisciplinary practice considers the body as a micro-architectural site where memory and personal and collective histories accumulate. Working across sculpture and painting, she uses industrial materials and processes of carving and fabrication to explore themes of care and endurance. Lines cut directly into metal and other manipulated surfaces function as both image and record, recalling early forms of inscription. Figures appear alongside vessels, chairs, and geometric forms, creating situations in which space is understood not simply as enclosure, but through the relationships between bodies, objects, and lived experience.
Her work focuses particularly on people whose roles require sustained physical or emotional attention to others—caregivers, healers, and activists. Within these scenes, figures brace, rest, support, and negotiate structures that can feel protective, precarious, or burdensome. Rather than presenting care solely as tenderness, Francesca examines its more complicated dimensions of intimacy and transformation. -- Francesca was born in Miami, Florida but spent part of her childhood in Haiti. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, Art Miami, Transformative Arts, Charlie James Gallery, Band of Vices, Vielmetter Los Angeles, Spinello Projects in Miami She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. |
