Present - January 6

Becky Frehse

“Fiddle Woods” is a mixed-media installation by Tacoma artist Becky Frehse that includes assemblages of natural wood branches, musical instruments, found objects, ceramic parts, and lighting to suggest a forest engaged in a musical concert through color, gesture, and light. A thick, gestural forest with vertical and diagonal branches and LED spotlights to create a dynamic effect at night, this installation is also filled with unplayable string instruments, becoming ornamented and grouped to offer a visual medley of treats for the viewer to discover.
