Exhibition Overview
Nicholas Frederick arrived from Brooklyn, New York, in September. He has a BFA from Louisiana State University, and has attended residencies at Anderson Ranch and Vermont Studio Center. He has shown his work in Louisiana and New York City.

“I use ordinary materials that have a certain humanity about them in order, hopefully, to explore my tenuous, uncertain, mysterious, and sometimes absurd relationship to my surroundings, seen and unseen. I am interested in both a humble physicality and a transcendence of the quotidian. I have a mystic vision of the universe that is just beyond reason, and it is in this zone that I believe my work best functions. I want to express the spiritual with the hands of a sheetrock installer.”
