Artist talk : Kath Fries
Saturday 11 August 2-3pm
Kath Fries will talk about her artworks that were produced during
the Gosford CBD Artist Residency 2012. During the residency Kath closely
observed the area, then collected everyday materials to create soft sculptures
and site-responsive installations. The resulting artworks poetically allude to
the transience of existence - particularly human relationships with nature and
our aversions to that which is naturally difficult for us to control. Nature is
stealthily creeping back into the abandoned consumer domains and derelict areas
of Gosford CBD. Weeds and insects are subversively reclaiming space and
territory - escaping unnoticed. But, when re-examined and re-interpreted in a
different context, narrative insights are revealed that expand beyond our
superficial assumptions and usual dismissive attitudes.
