Frances Goodman (born 1975) is a South African mixed-media artist who currently lives in Johannesburg.
Her work makes use of acrylic nails and other unconventional materials and is "interested in the relations between femininity, costuming, and role-playing".
She then moved to London to attend Goldsmiths College in 1999, receiving an MA in Fine Arts in 2000.
[3] Goodman has exhibited widely since 2002, with solo and group shows across Europe, North America, and Africa.
[8] Goodman often uses false eyelashes, fake nails, faux pearl earrings, and other "typically feminine" objects to create her sculptures and installations, looking at everyday obsessions and superficial behavior (such as fanatic exercise culture and conventions of marriage and beauty).
