MURRAY FREDERICKS is featured in The Weekend Australian Magazine this week.
Speaking about Array 1, the final work in his award-winning, 16-year SALT Project, Murray says: "The shore disappears, the sky and water merge... there's nothing around, so you lose all reference points. And your mind just dissolves into the space."
"It felt like the crescendo at the end of a piece of classical music. After 16 years on this project I thought, that's the one to go out on."
Murray Fredericks has been drawn to Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre), South Australia, over the course of 16 years, creating dazzling abstract images that bear witness to the transcendent capacity of the natural world.
