LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH!

Fran Williams, one of the guest artist’s in our November Group Show, exclusively invites Red Propeller Uncut into her studio space as part of our series on ‘An Artist’s Secret Sanctuary’.

“Although it’s miniature it’s the most important place on the planet for me and to be honest I feel like a fish out of water anywhere else.

It’s where I feel completely alive, any problems related to work or otherwise always get resolved in there. Either through the action of painting it out of my system, or just sitting and absorbing the energy that resonates from the half painted boards and random bits of material that have got years worth of paint and varnish on them. I’ve got a water spray bottle I use that’s about 9 years old now and I love it because it’s old, trashed and mangled but it’s helped me create nearly every piece of work. It’s taken on more sentimental meaning than probably any other possession I’ll ever own.

This is probably why a lot of artists feel so connected to the space where they work, it’s as if you speak a language in there without words or thoughts. When your in full flight in there, it’s like complete oblivion…a ‘high’ I guess”.
