This page is not empty: A handmade book and garments featuring poetry and drawings from Frances Cannon
She unfolds
The hand-bound textile publication brings together fragments of poetry and illustration by Frances Cannon, printed on raw fabric. The foil cover forms a sharp contrast, hard, reflective, resistant, while the layered textile pages invite touch, pause, and slow reading. Drawing on themes of body, vulnerability, and emotional honesty, the book unfolds like a quiet act of resistance. Each page breathes, each layer speaks.
Unstitched
These deconstructed garments reimagine the body as open, shifting, and unapologetically free. Featuring Frances Cannon’s poetry and drawings, the shirt and short cut apart and pinned back together—not to repair, but to reclaim. It embraces imperfection and body autonomy, honouring vulnerability as strength and rejecting imposed ideals.
