Fra Beecher is an artist and life model, and co-founder of United Models Life Drawing CIC. Her creative practice is informed by her modelling work and the weekly life drawing sessions she facilitates in Bristol. Through her projects, including Body of Work (2018-2020), Fra challenges the misconception that female life models are passive objects.
As a longstanding wild swimmer, Fra has begun to explore the physical, emotional and psychological experience of swimming in the River Avon through photography, writing, drawing and sculpture.
This residency and exhibition is an opportunity to experiment, and reflect, making new work and collaborating with artists, writers and fellow swimmers. Through a series of creative workshops, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own personal connections to bodies of water, which will become part of the works on display.
Entry requirements: 18+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
