Kim Fasher is an artist and curator living and working on Darkinjung Country (Central Coast, NSW). Her interdisciplinary practice weaves together sculpture, photography, installation, and curatorial research to explore the interplay between image, object, and action.
Drawing on interests that range from the neuroscience of consciousness to attention and the poetics of time, Kim Fasher’s practice investigates how psychological forces, memory, and embodied experience are held in matter. Her work responds to the saturation and fleetingness of the image in contemporary life, while exploring how time operates not just chronologically but affectively. At the heart of her practice is a sustained inquiry into the sculptural possibilities of photography: what happens when images are slowed, weighted, or made to occupy space. Her approach is both intuitive and research-driven—often beginning with a conceptual thread and evolving through process, material experimentation, and dialogue.
Collaboration is central to Fasher’s methodology. Her works often emerge through co-authorship—across disciplines, materials, and perspectives—creating fertile ground for shared language and generative tension. She is especially interested in how practices of attention, labour, and conversation shape meaning over time.
Recent solo work has explored the female experience - in particular motherhood as an ever-changing landscape of contradiction; mundane yet mystical, monotonous yet revelatory. Her current collaborative project with her sister, sculptor Harrie Fasher, focuses on ruins and ritual through a female lens. Situated at the historic Portland Foundations site, their work reframes ruin not as an endpoint, but as a site of transformation—where collapse and memory give rise to new forms.
