“Some projects fall outside boundaries, they fuel creative energy,
injecting studio processes with possibility and mystery”
THREE ACTS OF REFUSAL
A collaboration between sisters, Harrie Fasher and Kim Fasher
Reclaimed concrete footings, steel, bronze
Presented at Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, 2025, as a part of the exhibition Creative Foundations.
Three Acts of Refusal explores collapse as a form of composition. Each sculpture is built from reclaimed concrete footings, steel beams, and fragments of bronze: materials drawn from the debris of industrial environments. Once symbols of permanence, these remnants now lean, fracture, and resist resolution.
The works evoke buildings after war, or forms struggling to stand. They hover in a state of suspension, between ruin and regeneration, blurring the line between ending and beginning. Speaking to the failure of systems once thought stable - architectural, political, social - they also point to the possibility of renewal. Rather than monuments to permanence, these sculptures operate as propositions: what remains when stability gives way, and what new forms might be made from what has already fallen.
A SHARED SKY
A Shared Sky was commissioned by the The Milparinka Heritage and Tourism Association for the Harry Blore Memorial Park, Milparinka, in Western New South Wales.
With the guidance of Malyangapa woman, Gail Hunt, and in consultation with Wirradjuri artist, Aleshia Londsdale, Harrie has interpreted the emu constellation story. The sculpture is bold, utilising raw steel pipe to animate the emu form as it morphs through the seasonal sky.
A Shared Sky was installed in 2023 as part of the Milparinka Art Trail.
