Who's who
Dr Glad Fryer
Lecturer
My work takes an image on a journey beginning with a photographic source image and ending in a painted, printed or drawn image, passing through the remembered, imagined and perceived. It is important for me that the images in my work are encountered physically through the materials constituting their surface and mentally through the 'language' of images. Each viewer uniquely completes the image's journey of becoming a work. My works explore and realise the materiality of an image through the layering or marking of surface by materials. Through the activity of making these 'textured' images acquire particular material, photographic and ocular traits. The primary concerns of my practice are how the 'material image' arrests and textures our sensations, the reading of images and the implications of those experiences for ourselves, as receptors, repositories and generators of images.
Research interests
The reception and generation of image. The material image. Phenomenology. Personal, political, ethical and aesthetic relations. Archiving and forgetting. The layering of sensation. Embodied experience.
