winter happenings

Multi-piece power pole is coming along. Drying and tidying it up now. Testing dry glazes and underglazes for it.

New work in the studio and the gallery

 A new power pole drying in the studio. Totally psyched on this new shape.

 The last residential form I made earlier this year has just graduated to join my pop up suburb in Moonrise Gallery in Mullumbimby. Stoneware with underglaze.

Urban renewal has come and reshaped this pop up suburb and bought some fresh colour into the mix. Real Australians Say Welcome! This work is called Kingswood Country.

A new photo of one of the drawings from the Switch installation in SCU Gallery last month. This one captures the colour and details much better than the earlier shots I posted. This is part of a 15 meter panoramic landscape series.

Upcoming Melbourne show!

This is going out to all you city dwelling types.

This exhibition engages visual practices that respond to our urban surroundings. We are intrigued by the way that certain materials and mediums can address our urban framework specifically.

I am planning to include a selection of two and three dimensional work from the Switch series in this show. 

Without knowing what else will be included I am quietly excited to see not only what goes into the show but how my work sits among it.

If you live in Melbourne please drop in for the opening or check out the show while it is up, and please pass the word on to others who may be interested.

Charlotte's Pass village, view from the window of our lodge Targangil. Such an amazing place even without much snow. So lucky to stay here again. A refreshing week in the mountains has been spent. 

New Solo Exhibition "Switch" at SCU gallery 27th May until 7th June

This "Belgian Power Pole" work is a highlight from the now installed show in Lismore. Gallery is located in V block and open 9-4 week days. Please contact me for directions or other information timothy.b.fry@gmail.com or timm_fry on ig or Tim Fry Art on fb. Super excited with this work

 Power pole no.1,the token red/yellow piece, breaks up the rest of the blue pieces with fiery post climate change warmth.

Installation shot. Loving the geometric custom plinths.

Power pole no.4 is the straightest and in some ways most refined, of the first wave of power pole works. Made from paper clay and featuring a wide open construction, this piece has a less totemic and more architectural appearance.

A 15 meter desertscape contextualised the sculptures in a fictional desert, a futuristic post climate change wasteland. This is the largest work I have ever made and I thoroughly enjoyed making it. The assortment of recycled boxes give a great randomness and playful variation, plus they have great corrugated texture.

New multi piece power pole in progress. Some interesting textures happening too...

Moonrise Gallery and New Business Cards

A few weeks back I babysat Moonrise Gallery for Blossom and met a bunch of wonderful arts patrons and general legends. This time interacting with buyers and audiences was invaluable, and I thoroughly loved it. My pop up suburb and badges have been residing in this gallery since summer, finding new homes for themselves. 

 I have created a series of one off handmade business cards. They are screenprinted on high quality printmaking paper with hand drawn and written additions. 

Second round of business cards in the making. If you would like one email timothy.b.fry@gmail.com me or contact me through Tim Fry Art on fb or timm_fry on ig.
