Over the past 7 years, she has worked globally in furniture and interior design, where she developed a refined sensitivity to spatial proportion and material tactility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eHer early world was shaped by a grandfather who was both an artist and a psychiatrist. He filled her shelves with books on phenomenology, spirituality, and the poetics of place, quietly teaching her that perception is its own form of wisdom. Her mother, a former jewellery designer turned tapestry artist, taught her the meditative rhythm of making by hand. Her father worked in fashion, offering a lens on silhouette, material, and the power of restraint.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eHer current body of work includes sculptural bronze forms and linen canvases coated with beeswax and oil paintings. Each piece functions as a site for stillness and sensory presence. Drawing from her long standing meditation practice, Francesca explores the space between: where colourfields become a vessel for introspection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eNow based in Melbourne, Francesca works across painting, sculpture, furniture design, and spatial storytelling. Her studio practice is anchored in stillness and sensory awareness, each work an invitation into self attunement. She is currently developing her debut solo collection: a series of meditative chairs and paintings that explore forms that bloom from fields of colour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"her-shadow-by-francesca-kanat","title":"Her Shadow by Francesca Kanat","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eHer Shadow (A Time for new Dreams)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eMaterials - Oil, Oil Stick, Raw Belgian Linen, Australian Cedarwood, Beeswax, Copper Tacks\u003cbr\u003eSize 30 x 40Cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmorphous fields of dusty pink and muted green reflect an act of letting go.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeeswax paste and oil stick are worked intuitively, allowing translucent layers to soften and bloom across raw Belgian linen.
