Artist profiles and statements
Frances Disley
Frances Disley is a multidisciplinary artist based in Liverpool with a practice that spans sculpture, participation, performance and installation. Disley is influenced by the therapeutic effect that art, and even individual objects, can have on mood, whether it’s the calming fragrance of a geranium leaf, or the smooth, time-whittled surface of a pebble clasped in your palm.
