Biography:	Brown paper grocery bags are collaged onto canvas, transforming trash to treasure in Kristin Fritz's current body of work. Her eco artworks are meditations in balance, relationship, choice and perception. Making something from nothing, Fritz seeks to present the familiar in an unfamiliar way. She draws inspiration from Eastern philosophy, quantum physics, and the ever-changing landscape of light and dark within.
Statement:	In our lives, we ebb and flow constantly between perceived opposites. We reside in shades of gray - things are never purely black or white, good or bad, easy or difficult. Without night, we could not comprehend day; without black, we would not recognize white. And although we instinctively recoil, it is also true that without pain, we would not know joy; without death, we would not live life. Opposites are not adversaries but allies, defining and giving meaning to one another. The orbs in my work are symbolic of the whole of things. With no beginning or end, each orb represents two poles, and every point that lies in between, as one mysterious whole. We are always at some point along the continuum, within the orb - constantly assessing and weighing where we are, where we want to be, and where we think we ought to be. Whether falling in love or grieving a death, by leaning deeper into each sensation or experience, we lean into its opposite as well. And by doing so, we expand to a place of greater balance, and sometimes a place of repose. This is the eloquence of life - this is the perspective I strive to portray in my work.
