Mechanical Animals Elephant by Francesca LawrenceARTXV

I took up collage making over lockdown...

and have created over 300 pieces since.

My little autistic soul honestly thrived during lockdown.

Bearded Besties (2021) by Francesca LawrenceARTXV

I focus on...

creating new relationships and perspectives between different images in both surreal and playful ways.

Cloud Dream by Francesca LawrenceARTXV

I'm drawn to collage...

due to its inclusivity and how accessible the materials needed can be.

The School Fieldtrip (2020) by Francesca LawrenceARTXV

I feel that being neurodivergent...

impacts my work positively. I am quite detail-oriented and have a big imagination. I notice things that people don't - all good qualities to have for this art work where you're chopping things up, removing them from their original state and putting them into something else!
