Decant installation at Fairfield Museum

Last year I was artist in residence at Fairfield Museum and my resulting project, Decent, is now on display in the museum until 15 November 2014. Decant explores the passage of time and containment of memory, poetically reflected in the residue and trace of pouring water. Responding to two museum objects originally found on the banks of nearby Prospect Creek, Decant was a process based project, where the museum objects where cast and recreated into a series of replicas and delicate shards - intentionally dissected, semi-dissolved, broken and unstable. To read more about Decant, please see kathfries.com
