"Portland boasts a robust alternative art scene with some of the most exciting video artists in the country, such as Matt McCormick, Vanessa Renwick, Laura Fritz and Harrell Fletcher" Regina Hackett, Seattle Post Intelligencer, October 10th 2005
"...This stressing of anti-narrative opens up the possibility of uncertainty, a more active intellectual state, the space of change....She knows where the edges are, liminal territories with room to move. She puts into service a series of challenges in identifying, consuming and silencing the art object." Elizabeth Pence, Artweek, September 2005
Laura Fritz is interested in the inside of your brain, the place where you process light, make memories and filter out stray things. In your account of what happened on any given day, you may not include the strand of hair that fell across your face, the inanimate objects that appeared to jump at the edge of your vision, the moth you saw trapped on a screen or the cat waiting behind a door. Those stray things appeal to Fritz. . . . Fritz's work seems personal, as if we, the audience, thought of it first, but it is remote, in that as art it doesn't care what we think. Without any warning, it pumps out moths. Three days after seeing it, I can't get it out of my head. Regina Hackett, Seattle Post Intelligencer, May 20th 2005
