Fance Frank sought in her work the link between scientific knowledge, imagination and manual skill. Moreover, she clearly articulated her motivation: I love this alliance between earth, water, air, fire, the eye and hands to build a living form, walls fragile but surprisingly sturdy: empty but full of light.
