Norton Fredericks (they/he/Murri) born in Tulmur, Ipswich is an early career interdisciplinary visual artist and workshop facilitator currently living on Kombumerri Country, Gold Coast. Norton’s practice-based research is driven by hypercuriousity, often sitting at the intersection between art and science examining the external forces that impact on both the human experience and the environment around us, their work explores themes of environmental threats and queer ecologies. They create using predominantly historical pre-industrial techniques across fibre, textiles, metals, pottery and photography mediums while drawing from their knowledge of chemistry, environmental sustainability and ancient crafts. Norton imbues their work with geographical memories and examines how environmental variables respond with materials.
