MARY FRANCES FOSTER

--

Mary Frances Foster is a designer, illustrator and frequent film photographer with a mad affinity for ephemera and a penchant for paper goods. She collects all out-of-date print, postage and pocket watches and can be found strolling the neighborhood trading post with a never-ending coffee. Frances has plans of continuous growth and will keep on with documenting it all on her blog.

"There is a feel­ing in the work of Mary Frances Foster that is hard to pin down. It’s authen­ti­cally rural, but doesn’t resort to tired Southern clichés. It’s ele­gant, but also unapolo­get­i­cally pow­er­ful. It’s sub­tly epic, but intensely per­sonal at the same time. She chooses words with an upright hon­esty that com­mu­ni­cates mean­ing far beyond their lit­eral inter­pre­ta­tion, and there are just enough unex­pected ele­ments in the lay­outs to keep you guess­ing. She has an aes­thetic that feels all her own. In fact, the only thing I can accu­rately com­pare it to is lis­ten­ing to some­one like Neko Case or Gillian Welch." – Brad Surcey via Design Work Life

"Foster’s work is fresh because she leaves ques­tions to be answered and mys­ter­ies to be solved. Her work leans to the poetic, it’s beauty pulled from her intense love of pho­tog­ra­phy and found objects. In the hands of Mary Frances, dis­parate objects find a way to work together not just in visual terms but in a deeper, sto­ry­telling way." – John Foster, Accidental Mysteries
