Big Idea

Aaron Frater

My work has always been inspired by my surroundings as much as my internal landscape; it is a dialogue / communication between me as art maker & the world - nature, places, people, and things. I engage in that dialogue through form & image; two-dimensional and sculptural work.

My art is a language to me. This language continues to evolve as I use new materials & respond to new stimulus. My sculptural forms are often inspired by nature, the elements, living by the South Coast of Wellington New Zealand. My paintings are mostly inspired by the way the material behaves, but there is a cross over in all my work between my inspirations & the nature of my materials.

I mix carving & painting, using materials like plywood & plastic along with timber & stone, juxtaposing manufactured with natural materials & blending them. I like working with the contrasting and similar elements within the materials to express the idea of culture (the human made) and nature meeting & engaging each other.
