Freyja Fristad is a proud First Nations (Wiradjuri) print-based artist who lives and works across Dharawal and Gadigal land.
Fristad’s practice-led research is deeply informed by her navigation of the deprivation of cultural knowledge and information within her family. By sourcing images of readily available, mass-produced domestic objects and presenting them as metaphysical vessels, Fristad expresses feelings of grief over the loss of her cultural identity. The objects, absences, and white voids symbolise her enduring experience of cultural dislocation within Australia, and the loss of Indigenous information, artefacts, and cultural knowledge.
Fristad utilises the application of a lined bitmap (halftone) to her prints to assist in bridging the gap between photography and print reproduction. The varying thickness of the lines result in a moiré effect, with the image coming in and out of focus as the eye adjusts and readjusts.
