About Me
- Kath Fries
- Sydney, NSW, Australia
- The transience of existence and fragility of life are recurring themes throughout my art practice. Exploring materiality, spatiality and archetypical narratives; I create site-sensitive installations using natural elements and domestic materials. Having completed undergraduate studies in painting at UNSW, over the past few years my practice has focused on site-sensitive installations forming the basis of my recent Masters of Visual Art research at the University of Sydney. In 2010 I won the Japan Foundation New Artist Award and was an exhibiting finalist in the 2011 David Harold Tribe Sculpture Award, the 2011 Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Artists Travel Scholarship, the 2007 Redlands Westpac Art Prize and a finalist in the 2003 Gosford Regional Gallery Emerging Award. I have been an artist-in-residence at The Lock-Up Newcastle in 2011 and at Laughing Waters Eltham VIC in 2009. I am currently coordinating the Gunyah Artist-in-Residence Program in Port Stephens, a director of Viscopy, and a recipient of a 2011 ArtStart Grant from the Australia Council.
