Dr Kath Fries is first and foremost an artist who is interested in how the creative process can assist us – as both individuals and as communities - to make sense of our real and imagined worlds. She makes ephemeral installations from natural materials like mushrooms, bees wax and bamboo as well as things she finds in the back lane behind her home.

She is also a curator, working on HIDDEN contemporary sculpture in Rookwood Cemetery; as well as an administrator, having managed the John Fries Award, a generous art prize which recognised the talents of her fellow colleague visual artists and honoured the legacy of the contributions her late father made to the industry, https://www.johnfriesaward.com/.
