dc.description.abstractThis is Not a Dress Rehearsal: A Catalogue of Final Options (2019) was a major new work commissioned by Carriageworks, Sydney for The National: New Australian Art in 2019. This monumental painting continues Fragar’s engagement with human ontological themes, this time addressing the final human experience of death. Fragar’s painting—a self-portrait with her daughter—uses an inventive composition of many images to represent the anxious impossibility of understanding what death actually is. Hanging as a necklace on Fragar’s self-portrait reads a quote from Marcus Aurelius, ‘[o]ne [wo]man after burying another has been laid out dead, and another buries h[er]: and all this in a short time’. The painting therefore also speaks of perpetual inter-generational grief. At the time this painting was made, Annette Kent, who was Fragar’s close friend and mother-in-law and her daughter’s paternal died from pancreatic cancer.
