19. Freyja Fristad, Remediated Reflections, 2024, digital print on HP heavyweight paper, 42.5 x 170.0 cm. $150

Remediated Reflections is a concertina book that weaves together fragments of Fristad’s printmaking practice over five years of study. Comprising 16 close-up details from linoprints, this work explores process, materiality, and evolving artistic inquiry. By isolating and recontextualising these moments, she reflects on how past works inform new understandings. The concertina format invites a non-linear reading—echoing the layered, iterative nature of printmaking itself. Remediated Reflections is both a record and a reconstruction, a dialogue between past and present, where traces of previous carvings resurface in new form.
