"Windows and Mirrors - Looking in and Looking Out": oil paintings

Fritz's figurative paintings employ the metaphor of windows and mirrors to enhance the existential problem being addressed - that of a contemplative, engendered response to issues of identity, loss, and memory. Fritz extends the mirror analogy in her reflective use of familiar objects and personal iconography (birds, flowers, photos) that echoes between paintings, thereby establishing a cohesive visual space from which look within.
