Cadi Froehlich
I make artworks to live with. Each piece is a sculpture which gives the viewer confidence to interact with the form and materials of the object.
Using clay, salvaged copper, cables and electrical components, my work investigates the hidden infrastructure of the interaction between the shared wisdoms, the support and the technology which sustain us.
I leave some makers traces on the mugs, and the plates are wall art which can be taken down and shared. The bottles are varying stages of practical, with salvaged copper connecting some components. I evoke digital communications with the used wires and imprints of electrical components.
I appeared in series 7 of The Great Pottery Throw Down
I gained my MA in Fine Art from Camberwell and Chelsea, and graduated with a distinction in Fine Art from Brighton University.
I completed a month's residency in Beijing with Red Mansion Prize. The subsequent exhibition was in London in March 2015.
I was elected as a member of The London Group in 2016
‘Tea Table’ won second in the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2010, and I was selected by Ceri Hand for the Creekside Open 2013 , APT Gallery, London. I was long listed for Saatchi Gallery New Sensations 2013. Recent exhibitions include Refraction at Boxpark, London, Ides of March at Spacestation Sixty-Five, London, Meanwhile at John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, Bend Over Shirley at Beaconsfield Contemporary, London, and A Machine for Living in at Hannah Barry, London. I was invited for a residency and solo show at Grey Area Gallery, Brighton, 2012. I was selected for a group residency at Joya arte: + ecologica, Spain, 2012, and a Cape Farewell expedition in London, 2011.
