| Francesca Albini, #unsettledgallery No.2 |
Small World Futures is a collection of 38 miniature sculptures
depicting what life could look like in years to come. Each of these
small artworks will be placed in public spaces (#unsettledgallery) around London Bridge. Every day throughout
February we will be featuring one of these worlds here on the
website. A writer will also use the world as inspiration to create
something new and fresh, their words describing the shape of a new
world.
Today we discover the Small World Future of.... Francesca Albini

You can find Francesca Albini's Small World Future at
#unsettledgallery No.2, beside a downpipe on Melior Street and next
to the Horseshoe Inn. If you can find it then you can take it home,
or perhaps you will leave it for someone else to discover.
Francesca Albini divides her life between literary and artistic endeavours. She is a
PhD in Classics, and has worked in publishing for her entire adult
life, as a translator, author and editor. She is a self taught artist
and photographer. Her work is inspired by folk art, but also by design. Albini is a collector of
memories, and uses any medium that allows her to remember and share,
express feelings and narrate stories. From line drawings to plastic
cameras, from collage to upcycled jewellery and dolls. "My work is playful and dreamy, child-like but also
philosophical. I fall in and out of love with many styles and tools,
but I'm always me, whatever I do."
Natalie Low enjoys putting words on paper and believes that
everyone has a book of some sort inside them. She lives in
Twickenham, UK with her rather charming family. She has published two
chapbooks Dementia (2015) and recently
School Run (2017).
