Frances Brennan
Orford, Suffolk
Artist metalsmith
Process driven. I am a metalsmith, making contemplative sculptural objects, and a painter. My work makes constant reference to nature whether intentional or otherwise. I work with both the random and the planned, valuing the process and the ideas that emanate.
