Susan Freda has received numerous awards, notably a residency & exhibition at the de Young Museum & a Pollock Krasner Award. Transparency, form, line and her deft use of material invoke intimate, emotive responses. Freda imbues her pieces with an ephemeral presence and ability to catch light. Created from hand woven wire and glass, her pieces envelope viewers in a seductive, entranced space. Their transparent and interconnected forms and jewel-like nature reference nature, fashion, and otherworldly phenomena. Freda’s work is inspired by numerous sources, some of which include: Giacometti’s stretched and elongated figures, Judi Pfaff’s installations and deft use of material; and the sculptures of Anish Kapoor. Her explores the transient, poetic, and ephemeral experiences of our world—intimacy & emotion, and offers a space for their consideration.
