Mixed Media
“Freda is a sculptor whose work is sought after for her deft and boundary-crossing use of materials.” – obsessedwithart.com
Sue Freda’s mixed media work combines materials and meaning to create pieces that engage the viewer with movement, texture, and depth. While her work may appear whimsical or improvised, each piece is carefully composed in a very deliberate way. Using a palette of unusual elements—iridescent pearl dust, gold metal powder, graphite, reclaimed wood, sea glass, leaf, wax, and wire—she constructs dimensional collages that feel precise yet alive.
Her mixed media draws on the same three-dimensional materials as her sculpture, forming a vocabulary of symbols that tell a story, each chosen for specific characteristics and meanings. Paintings, collages, and sculptures exist in dialogue with one another, each referencing and expanding the others to create a cohesive body of work.
Freda’s pieces encourage reflection and connection, blurring the line between the individual and the collective. In shared spaces, they act as subtle points of engagement, inviting conversation and quiet interaction.
Each piece is unique. If you are interested in an available work, please purchase online or reach out with any questions. If a work has sold, custom pieces in a similar style are available. For more details, please feel free to contact us.
