Florence's work is concerned with the often hidden production processes of artworks, interacting with, re-imagining and re-framing the procedures, actions and gestures involved in both making a piece of work and packaging it (literally). Performances often incorporate large-scale objects and materials that change and re-form in front of the audience. Site, the placement of performance and relationship to audience, live and recorded text, as well as a well-developed sense of wit and humour, are key to her work. Themes in her work include appropriating popular spiritual practices, capturing the live experience of performing and the memory of a given performance, and re-performing the live works through large scale canvas and fresco works.
