Francis
Upritchard is an up and coming artist, who was born in New Plymouth, New
Zealand in 1976. She often uses a rainbow color palette and has her statues
move. She will have novelists write stories about her work in the catalogues
that go with her shows.
I value her
work, because she takes risks. It is not often that a sculptor is bold enough
to use such a wide color range, in addition to having movement in her pieces. I
also find it interesting that she has someone create stories about her work;
artists often leave it to the viewer to create their own interpretation.
