Featuring zoomorphic and divine-being bronze sculptures and embroideries described as ‘stitched spells’, Inez Edwards and India Mehta have brought together the work of their late father, Fryderyk Framroze Mehta. Alongside, and in dialogue with her father’s works, Inez exhibits textile and sound installation works.

Fred spent much of his life living between family in India and Australia, crafting works at the Ram Chhatpar Shilip Nyas Art Centre in Varanasi. Drawing from his Polish and Parsi heritage, Zoroastrian religion and iconography, he said that his work aimed to visualise ‘the ethereal countering the dehumanised and inhumane forces.’

Shine Light On weaves together many threads: Fred’s works coming to Fremantle from Varanasi, the illumination of his work in the light of current events, and Inez’s discovery that Fred is her biological father.
