encroach iii, Kath Fries, aluminium wire mesh, installation dimensions variable, exhibited at North London TK February 9th 2008, Annandale Sydney Australia
My home and studio are on the lands of the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation. I recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture – and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging – acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these places.

I'm an artist based in Sydney, on the lands of the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation. My practice explores how our senses connect us to our surroundings, engaging with the immediacy of present time experience and the impermanence of existence. Working with tactile materials and embodied entanglements with place, my sculptural installations grow from a process of quiet observation to reflect on instability and fragility. By developing attentive focus and working with found, natural or everyday materials, I link sensate experiences of materiality and haptic thinking to evoke direct empathetic and palpable experiences of time, fluctuation and change. www.kathfries.com
