Spanning sculpture, textiles and latex installations, Florence’s multidisciplinary practice explores the intersection of personal histories with broader social issues, delving into themes of memory, loss, and the search for meaning in a complex and often chaotic world.
The roots of her current practice can be traced back to her childhood experiences, the death of her mother and her subsequent diagnosis of C-PTSD. Her work is predicated on a therapeutic method: it is an attempt to unpack personal trauma, understand her past and form a connection with her late artist mother. Florence’s sculptures, which appear like lacquered crumpled sheets of paper, may have a shiny surface but there is an unsettling darkness that lurks beneath.
