Natasha Frisch is a Sydney based artist who employs modest materials to construct models and installations that closely approximate everyday objects and sites. Inspired by urban folklore, forgotten architecture and the natural world, Natasha’s meticulous constructions aim to challenge our reading of the built environment, and interrogate the slippage between the real and the unreal.
Natasha completed her Bachelor of Arts (Media Arts - Honours) at RMIT University, and since then has exhibited consistently both nationally and internationally. Her work has been presented in several solo exhibitions including, Somewhere In Between, Dianne Tanzer Gallery + Projects, 2010, Nasty Little Piece of Work, Next Wave Festival, 2004, and Living, Artbox at Sherman Galleries, 2001. Natasha’s work has also been featured in numerous group shows, a selection of which includes Paper Scissors Rock, Dianne Tanzer Gallery + Projects, 2011, Grow Wild, Utopian Slumps, 2008, Elsewhere, Nellie Castan Gallery, 2007, Pleasures & Terrors, Blindside, 2006, and Papercuts, Monash Museum of Art, 2003.
Recently, Natasha has been an Artist in Residence with Marrickville Council and her work Somewhere In Between was shortlisted for the 2011 Hazelhurst Art on Paper Award. In 2012 she will journey to New York to be an Artist in Residence at the Contemporary Artists Center, Woodside in Troy, and will spend a month in Murray’s Cottage as part of the Hill End Artist in Residency program, managed by Bathurst Regional Art Gallery.
