 ----------------------------------------------\n\nFra Beecher is an artist
  and life model\, and co-founder of United Models Life Drawing CIC. Her cr
 eative practice is informed by her modelling work and the weekly life draw
 ing sessions she facilitates in Bristol. Through her projects\, including 
 Body of Work (2018-2020)\, Fra challenges the misconception that female li
 fe models are passive objects.\n\nAs a longstanding wild swimmer\, Fra has
  begun to explore the physical\, emotional and psychological experience of
  swimming in the River Avon through photography\, writing\, drawing and sc
 ulpture.\n\nThis residency and exhibition is an opportunity to experiment\
 , and reflect\, making new work and collaborating with artists\, writers a
 nd fellow swimmers. Through a series of creative workshops\, attendees wil
 l have the opportunity to share their own personal connections to bodies o
 f water\, which will become part of the works on display.\nEvents schedule
