Literature

David Fried explores the qualities of invisible complex dynamic relationships in the form of minimalistic images and objects. The inherent flexible characteristics of emergent interdependent networked systems found in nature and social endeavor, are echoed throughout his sculptural, photographic and interactive works. Fried employs symbolic motifs that are universally recognizable as organic or pertaining to natural phenomena, with subtle contextual hints of human influence, and our urge to control manipulate and predict outcomes.
