Men, dogs, horses and birds were constant subject matter throughout her career. She modelled, cast in plaster and then carved the plaster to achieve a tougher surface when the plaster was cast in bronze. She rarely worked with the female form “I have focused on the male because to me he is a subtle combination of sensuality and strength with vulnerability”.
Her figures have dignity mystery and a simplicity of form which place them apart from us.
While fighting cancer Frink struggled to complete her last commission, a monumental but unusual figure of The Risen Christ for the front of the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, unveiled a week before her death in Woolland, Dorset in 1993.
