Frances Geesin
Research and practice are interwoven as a continuous investigation into textile and fibre. Her delight in discovery and her endless curiosity are constantly taking her into new, uncharted territories. Working in the main with thermoplastic fabrics and fibres as a medium for expression, her drawing tools are heat guns, soldering irons and hot knives.
