Origins & Echoes
| O R I G I N S & E C H O E S |
“Origins and Echos“ is more than just a name for this exhibition. It also embodies how the artist views her work and its progression through time. The show demonstrates the evolution of her practice and how different series have simultaneously influenced each other. Fritz states that this develops naturally as her practice is rooted in play, process, experimentation, and trial and error. That sense of experimentation brings about new growth and themes which mutate into new bodies of work.
For example, this exhibition features new works in color which is new territory for the artist, who has established her process with more monochromatic inclinations. Fritz was originally drawn to monochrome compositions because working in one color allowed the form to be at the forefront of the work. Color can imbue an emotional aspect into different artworks. While initially a deterrent, Fritz leaned into this and began incorporating color with earth tones and indigo. These colors have a certain ubiquity that allowed for broad emotional meaning to be applied to the pieces. This allows for new growth to emerge visually while staying true to the intentions that guided her monochromatic works.
