Nation: UK
Genre: Installation
Frankie Fathers is a London-based multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker whose practice weaves between installation, sculpture and film, using textile to explore identity, myth and loss through a feminist and absurdist lens.
She stitches debates around the female body and identity into the very fabric of her work. Playful and profound, flippant and forceful, her practice engages the language of fibres and dichotomies to create a visual juxtaposition of the familiar and the fantastical. This duality adds a complex dimension to her work, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersections of gender, power, and myth.
The artist chooses to source donated clothing from friends, family and the general public, for its intimate connection with the human body, the subjective symbolism of different textures and her commitment to a sustainable practice.
Frankie is the co-founder of the Campervan Collective, a group of international experimental artists who met at the Royal College of Art, who are committed to public art practice and collaboration. The Collective’s inclusive public participatory workshops and activities aim to create community, connection and conversation between all ages and backgrounds.
