"In Fried’s quirky and unsettling diorama scenes, family dramas and generational traumas play out through arrangements of psychologically and culturally fraught found and collected objects and images, each with the power to contain and transmit both archetypal emotions and specific event memories, enhanced by the effects of her deft juxtapositions and gently surrealist economies of scale.”
