CARRIE FRASER

Catalogue Systems 7 - 16 September 2017 Thursday - Saturday, 2-6pm Opening Night: Thursday 7 September, 6-8 pm Artist in Gallery: Sunday 10 September, 10 am-2 pm                            Saturday 16 September, 2-6 pm The drawings begin with a set of rules (a system), a grid on the paper and a supply of pens. The process includes a tally kept of the line count, which adds to the intensity of the labour of drawing and also adds to the meditative quality of the work. Frequently there comes a time in the drawing process when ‘mistakes’ are made. These are welcome because the outcomes cannot be predicted and are often surprising. Carrie Fraser recently graduated from UNSW Art and Design with a BFA (Hons) and is currently completing a Master of Art Therapy at Western Sydney University. In 2016 she was awarded the Art & Design Industry Award for Drawing. Fraser has exhibited in group exhibitions and has been a finalist in The Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing, the Tim Olsen Drawing Prize and the Kudos Emerging Artist & Designer Award. Fraser has been invited to participate in the 2017 Kedumba Drawing Award. Systems is Fraser’s first solo show. http://carriefraser.com/
