Congratulations to HARRIE FASHER, who has received a grant from Creative Australia in support of her forthcoming survey exhibition at Orange Regional Gallery, titled Before Dawn. 

Before Dawn is a major solo exhibition by leading contemporary sculptor Harrie Fasher featuring monumental bronze and concrete sculptures alongside smaller works. This exhibition represents a pivotal moment in Fasher’s career, consolidating five years of artistic and technical research at an ambitious scale. Before Dawn explores resilience and transformation through material contrasts – weight against fragility, rawness against refinement.

“Before Dawn” holds everything that drew me to sculpture; the unrivalled possibility of material exploration, scale and installation generating sensation in its visitors. A dear friend and colleague, @ingridmorley, once described my work to me… her words, vague now, implored my ability to imbue a cold industrial material like steel with a moving human emotion. Gee, I hope this Orange exhibition, filled with bronze, bio Crete and textiles lives up to her expectations!⁠⁠
