A Deeper Look Inside

Garth Fry explores the psychology of isolation by creating shapes and forms that are void of applied color. He investigates this concept through his use of raw, coiled paper and glue. The imagery he creates derives from expressive formations, which upon inspection reveals a terrain of emotion that is symbolized by a sea of hand crafted coils. Each coil is designed to represent the passing of time and can be viewed as a statue of tension, a pillar of anxiety, a mark of guilt, a dot of frustration, or a roll of regret. Visual tension is created through his use of light and shadows, further emphasizing refuge and loss of identity.
