About
Francisca is fascinated by typography. She deconstructs type to create her own three-dimensional interpretations of the things that interest her such as a book, a clock or the alphabet itself. Originally trained as a graphic designer Francisca takes a mathematical approach, which can be seen through the grids and systems applied to each piece she creates.
Her latest and ongoing series 'Between Folds', brings together many of her passions and explores the deconstruction of rare illustrated periodicals and books using modular structures and typographical elements. A hidden narrative emerges in each work through the connections that Francisca makes both in terms of the structures she uses, and the conceptual connections of the images and text selected.
Francisca was born in Chile 1974 where she trained and worked as a graphic designer. In 2001 she moved to London to study for an MA at Central Saint Martins. Since graduating in 2003 she has set up her studio in central London. Her work collected by private clients and featured in major public collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Tate Gallery and British Library.
