Artists Statement - Francesca Wyllie

My primary area of interest began with sculpting in steel. I was introduced to blacksmithing and metal working techniques whilst studying for a degree in sculpture in the late 80‘s. Over the years my work has developed to include other metals and materials such as glass, mosaic, cement and wire. I now spend most of my time painting in oils and acrylics.

Recent paintings and drawings have been inspired by travels to Morocco, Andalucia in Spain and the Dordogne region of France as well as closer to home in the areas around Torbay and the South Hams.

Many sculpture projects have been influenced by a love of plants, trees, organic forms, animals, people, stories, my own drawings and random ideas. When starting a new sculpture I am often unaware of where it will lead. The making process causes accidental elements to influence the direction of the piece and if not resolved often creates the drive to make the next sculpture.

I have found that often people prefer their own interpretations of my work, and feel strongly that the viewer should be encouraged to feel included in the creative process, - once made, the work is no longer my own.
