Kim Fasher is an artist and curator living and working on Darkinjung Country (Central Coast, NSW). Her interdisciplinary practice weaves together curatorial research, sculpture, photography and performative gesture 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, Fasher’s practice investigates psychological forces, memory, and the meaning, value and emotional register of materials, Her work responds to the saturation and fleetingness of the image in contemporary life, while exploring how time operates not just chronologically but affectively, stretched, suspended and compressed. Her approach is both intuitive and research-driven.
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.
Her work has also explored the female experience including a current collaborative project with her sister, sculptor Harrie Fasher, which 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.
