Frankie Goillau is a collector of things, the daughter of a collector of things, and the mother of a daughter a collector of things. This inherited habit is a substantial part of her working life and artistic practice.

Artist Statement
My experimental work can be invitingly tactile, visually vocal and often ironic.
My past working practice in fashion and textiles sub –consciously connected with my French Huguenot roots.
My designs stocked High Street retail space, catalogue pages and a private commission showcased on a popular TV show The Generation Game.
My individuality, unthinkable patience and humour guided me through the long challenging years caring and nurturing for family young and old, preventing until recently a longed for return to artistic practice and the opportunity to visit distant shores.
Since 1957 I have lived in the historic harbour town of Poole in Dorset.
I now reside in an inherited house, collecting things, working with and displaying inherited and collectable things.
Will my daughters’ daughter also be a collector of things, will her daughter be a collector of things?
A new Generation Game.
