From Japan Foundation:
‘Grove’, 9 – 30 September 2010, a site-sensitive installation by Kath Fries.
Playing with notions of internal and external spaces by bringing the outside within, ‘Grove’ challenges perception and invites contemplation. This work reflects on the passage of time and sadness of loss, taking inspiration from the 10th Century Japanese fable, ‘Tale of the Bamboo Cutter’.

About the Blake Prize:
The Blake Prize is one of the more prestigious art prizes in Australia. Since 1951 the Blake Society has been awarding a prize for works of art that explore the subject of religious awareness and spirituality. In difference to art prizes that are awarded for distinct subject areas such as landscape or portraiture, the Blake has always invited a much more open, personal and idiosyncratic response, so much so that it has earned the criticism, ire and sometimes applause of critics and the public alike. After all, what is religious art?
The chair, Rev Dr Rod Pattenden, The Board and Members of the Blake Society and Anita Taylor, Director of the National Art School invite you to The 59th Blake Prize Exhibition.
To be opened by David Malouf, Author and Poet
