About the artist
Frances Solar

Frances Solar has been a traditional weaver and textile artist for many years, applying the same techniques and ideas to industrial materials which she feels is a natural progression of her work. Solar began working with copper, as its warm colour held a deep attraction for her. Copper wire is easily available in many colours and, like traditional fibres, it is flexible and can be manipulated and patinated. She now has more freedom to design and improvise on the loom as she weaves. As such, the resulting wire cloth is shaped into a sculptural form that has no real function other than being something beautiful, with wonderful colours and textures.
