ARC ONE Gallery is proud to present their latest exhibition featuring new work by acclaimed Australian photographer, Murray Fredericks. Fredericks’ photographs examine existential concepts of space and place within the context of landscape with technical mastery. His latest exhibition, 'Origins', focuses on fire as the central theme.

Featuring a suite of monumental photographs depicting the spectacular Milky Way and scenes of a salt encrusted, upturned tree deliberately set alight, Fredericks puts our place in the universe into dramatic perspective. His impressive large-scale prints connect us with our personal and universal origins using fire’s dichotomy as a destructive, terrifying force as well as an essential part of life.
