Christine Frerichs creates intimate observational paintings of interior scenes in her home and studio. Each painting in the series is created over days, weeks, or even months - her easel remains in place as daily life ebbs and flows around it. The compositions evolve as the space changes over time: glasses are placed on a bedside table, the sheets get rumpled by her partner’s nap, a plant sprouts and wilts, papers stack up on a counter. The paintings are a form of self-portraiture - a portrait not as she sees herself but as if we are looking through her eyes at her sense of self reflected in the surroundings.
