Dr. Anthony Fryatt is interested in the role interiors play in the way we live, work, and experience the world.

Anthony has a design research practice that spans installation, set design, model making, drawing, and diagramming. He has a background and interest in industry practice including retail, brand, workplace, educational and urban environments.
These ideas are pursued through a design research practice, ‘Making Distance’ with Roger Kemp.

The work has been shown at Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI); Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha; Brighton University, UK; Form Gallery, State of Design Festival; Bus Projects; Fortyfivedownstairs; Pinup Gallery; Federation Square, Channel 31 and AFTRS. Their work has also been shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards. Teaching workshops have been led in VCUQatar and University of Technology Lea, PNG.
