Frances Seward | A Tribute To…
http://francesseward.com
Frances Seward creates large spacial photographs.
She appeals to distant landscapes and is inspired by deserts and oceans - two extremes that appear often in her work.
Her photography is a visual representation of the mind attempting to portray the solid evidence of the internal world.
“My work is inspired by abstract expressionism and explores a psychological journey into inner space.”
This minimalist photography employs reductionism, as well as phenomenological light and perception, to evoke psychological and emotional landscapes.
Warm Sea Hues ponders on memories of the innocence of summer beaches, with young families running on the sand towards the shallow tidal inlets.
Her work is the definition of containment and control - in a strong, self-supporting and trusting way.
The colours are balanced.
The movement is present.
The emotions are strong.

The blue in this photograph takes one to places that are endless, its about flight, strength and contemplation.
It’s about independence and possibility.
The light that peaks through the middle is symbolic of a huge change in one's life.
A certain "death", but after this, a reemergence will take place that brings forth hope and change for the better.
She uses a digital camera and utilizes light to create her photograph.
“My images are created in the moment, never to be seen again except on paper. I find the unpredictability of this technique, working with light and my camera, irresistible allowing me to be very versatile with my work.”

“The Sea, once it casts its spell,
Holds one in its net of wonder,
Forever.”
Jacques Cousteau
“My mission is to inspire the viewer, and for them experience a feeling from within.”
