Based in Portland, NSW, artist Harrie Fasher is renowned for her large
steel-line structures that embody tension and movement. In 2018, her
powerful dynamic steel sculptures formed an interactive production for
the Lingua Franca collaboration MIGHTY, which showcased at Bathurst
Memorial Entertainment Centre.
The sculptures featured in Weighted are smaller in scale, yet heavier in
material and emotional content, using concrete and bronze to reinforce
mass and weight. The artist is expressing her raw response to visiting
World War I battlefields in France and Belgium in 2017. The result,
like the material used, is intentionally heavy and cumbersome, and
encapsulates the horror of war. Fasher’s innate knowledge of horses,
and the unique bond between horse and human, is demonstrated by
her use of the equine form to depict this emotionally charged work.
Fasher graduated from Sydney’s National Art School in 2010 with
honours in sculpture. She has won numerous prizes, including the
Rio Tinto Sculpture Award (2018), Helen Lempriere Emerging Artist
Scholarship (2017), and the National Association for the Visual Arts
(NAVA) Windmill Trust Scholarship for NSW Regional Artists (2015).
Fasher continued her studies through
mentorships in bronze casting with Laurence
Edwards (Suffolk, UK) and Clara Harli (Blue
Mountains, NSW), and has undertaken
residencies at Hill End and in Iceland and
the United Kingdom. Her work is featured
in public and private collections, including
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery; Hyde Park
Anzac Memorial, Sydney; National Museum
of Australia, Canberra; Oberon RSL Military
Memorial; and Orange Regional Gallery.
Fasher is represented by King Street Gallery
on William, Sydney.
