Frankie McAllister is an Irish photographer, based in London. Her practice sits on the crossover of fine art and documentary photography or more specifically between representation and abstraction, blurring those lines to question what is real and what is imagined or remembered (or perhaps just ‘felt’). She has a particular interest in altered landscapes, the visible signs of human activity and the imprint of geo-politics and she has published a book ‘Dividing Lines’ a post brexit essay using the landscapes of northwestern Ireland as a metaphor for the absurdities of borders and artificial division. Also a founder member of FIKA book & zine, a new photography book collective, she has exhibited both nationally and internationally, from London to Wales and the USA, Greece, France, and the Netherlands.
