artist statement

Grace Fries (b. 2001) is a Los Angeles based artist from Denver, Colorado earning her BFA at the Roski school of Art and Design. Her practice is anchored in photography, both analog and digital, also including video, and multimedia work. Exploring self-reflection, loss and change, her practice is often used as a space to concurrently navigate her own growth and shifting mentalities. With an admiration for the evanescence of the world around her, Grace uses photography as a means to reflect the insistent thereness that only the photograph can offer.   Grace often plays with the surreal to construct spaces that compel us to further scrutinize our understandings of reality and consider the complexities of individual human experiences.
