Exhibition Review: Photography
Water | Cristy Froehlich
The Link, Ginninderry, 1 McClymont Way, Strathnairn | 23 Jan – 3 Mar 2024
Canberra photographer Cristy Froehlich is so fascinated by droplets of water that she has brought them to life via her camera lens. In her exhibition, Water, Froehlich has produced images of her constructed interactions between water, light, time, colour, texture…
the only--the ONLY!--thing I had on my to do list for today was work on any of the commissioned paintings that I need to get done. That was it!
So instead I've sculpted a bunch of clay leaves to make into a mobile, gave a kitten a bath, rearranged the sunroom and repotted a few plants, watered my tomatoes, got some eggs from the doves, read a book, did some laundry, made a book press, made a video about making a book press, bought a detail sander and halloween candy, taught Vice to do a double high five, accidentally melted my gardening gloves, went to the animal shelter, and forgot to eat for the entire day.
So I'm pleased to announce that all executives are functioning at 0% capacity, as per normal.

The print is a blend of acrylic and Speedball water-based ink on cardstock. The frame is built up with textured paint, then carved. (I mixed some cheap acrylic paint up with glue, modge podge, baking soda, and puffy paint, then painted a ton of layers of that outside in the sun so it’d dry fast.)
