Affection and Worlding - Kath Fries

Photography: Ellen Dahl

“Embrace brings together my new sculptures and wall works exploring material metaphors of interconnection, change and continuance. Playfully combining weathered palings and gnarled plywood with recycled textile felt, fungi, paint, beeswax and bark; these works conjure sensuous co-creative narratives of growth and decay. My practice of being attentive to tactile details involves teasing out and entwining mycelium-like felt threads, growing mushrooms and tracing tree rings in old plywood. These processes focus on the immediate connectivity of touch, which then expands further to embrace ecological interdependencies.”

I think This Is A Pine Tree by Katharina Grosse

We made it to 'Wall works' at Hamburger Banhof and are truly captivated by the work 'I Think this is A Pine Tree' (2013) by Katharina Grosse.

Her work is part of the exhibition “Wall Works” which examines wide-ranging artistic interpretations that have redefined the wall as a visual support and space-defining element since the 1960s.
