April Friges was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and in 2010 received her MFA in studio art from The University of California, Irvine. Her most recent work addresses the medium of photography and its classification as a two-dimensional art form. Experimenting with process in the darkroom, Friges manipulates the paper to construct three-dimensional sculpted works that examine the intersection between image and object. Her work has been shown in galleries and museums such as LAXART, Los Angeles, CA (2010); Autonomie, Los Angeles, CA (2011); The Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence, KS (2012); The Printed Matter, New York, NY (2013); MOCAD, Detroit, MI (2013); Sculpture X, Columbus, OH (2013); ForYourArt, Los Angeles, CA (2014); and 20 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY, (2014), Filter Space, Chicago, IL (2015). She lives and works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is the Assistant Professor of Photography at Point Park University.
