Kath Fries is a visual artist based in Sydney, Australia. Contact - kathfries@gmail.com . ~ My art practice explores metaphors of interconnection when an element from the everyday is used as a locus linking broader concepts of time and space. I work across installation, photography, drawing, painting and sculpture. Viewers are encouraged to approach my work from differing angles to discover their own sense of journey within poetic subtleties of ephemerality, trace and residue. I often use shadow and reflection to convey a fleeting temporal sense of tension, of balancing on the edge between the immediate present and the unfurling possibilities of the unseen. ~
