Visiting Lecture / Artist Research /sculpture
Freida makes sculptural work that explores temporality, material and encounter. She pays close attention to the inherent character of materials and works with them in an intuitive manner, moving between the methodical (a sense of time in making) and the direct presentation of matter as it is, or just minimally influenced.
Informed by contemporary thinking on materiality, she is interested in the point of contact or adhesion between materials - the degree to which they are anchored or integrated into each other, and the transfer or exchange between the grafted materials. In this emphasis on the moment and place of adjoining, boundaries become central, and there is often a quiet suggestion of precariousness or peril.
Freida graduated from Sculpture & Combined Media in LSAD in 2020.
This morning we had a visiting lecture from a recent graduate of LSAD/TUS talking about her practice. It was encouraging that her practice is based on finding balance within the intuitive process of her exploration of her materials and her final work.
A big take away lesson for me today as a first year is about how I can move forward in my own exploration in terms of 'play' which is part of the balance in following your intuition regardless of the inherent pressure that deadlines can create.
The activity of Suspension is an area I'm very curious about. This is an element I am drawn to displayed in pieces of Freidas work. Suspending items, liquids in air creating form and intrigue.
