Unusual Spellings - detail 2

My sculptures and drawings are inspired by medical and environmental news stories pulled from today's headlines and historical sources.  Upon choosing an area of focus, such as the swine, avian and Spanish flus, or the increased incidence of poison ivy with the growth of greenhouse gases, I set upon a rigorous course of research, gathering images which I then alter, vet and reject through an elaborate system designed to completely subvert and distort any likeness to the original source.  --Lorrie Fredette

Lorrie Fredette lives and works in New York's Hudson Valley region. She is a 2009 recipient of an artistic residency at Women's Studio Workshop. Her most recent solo show was at The Gallery at R&F, Kingston, NY. Her numerous exhibitions include "The Importance of Not Seeing Clearly" at CAP ArtSpace, Ithaca, NY and "Shades of White" at Surprenant Art & Design, Kingston, NY. Fredette was honored with a New York Foundation for the Arts SOS Grant in 2007. Public collections include Jyväskylän Taidemuseo in Jyväskylä, Finland and The Gift Project in New York, NY. She is currently working on "Extracting (in) Formation" a site-specific installation inspired by Swine, Avian and Spanish flus for Gallery Ehva (July 2-21, Opening Friday, July 2, 6-8pm).
