Of his works, Tim Frerichs writes, “My artwork and research investigate how representations have shaped our interaction and impact on our environment. The majority of my work is based on researching a specific site. My artist books, works on paper and installations use images, drawings and objects collected from the specific sites and related cultural and historical sources. I am especially interested in humanity’s intentional and unintentional impact on their environment. Past works have dealt with issues such as invasive species and connection with historical transportation systems. Current work investigates geology and climate concerns.” Timothy Frerichs received a Bachelor of Arts from St. Olaf College, MN, and a Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa. Frerichs has received numerous awards including two Fulbright awards, a Netherland-America Foundation Cultural Grant, a United States Embassy, The Hague, Project grant, a Scandinavian-America Foundation Fellowship, three NYFA S.O.S. Grants, and a Constance Saltonstall Foundation Grant for Printmaking. Frerichs’ drawings, installations, prints, and artist books have been widely exhibited internationally and nationally. His artwork is included in international and national public, corporate, and private collections. Frerichs currently is a professor of art in the Department of Visual Arts and New Media at SUNY Fredonia.
