Roger Butler AM, Senior Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings wrote of 2015 acquisitions:

"This selection highlights the juxtaposition in Fry's ways of working; one loose and gestural, the other fine and infinitesimal. Combined these approaches produce a style which emulates and deconstructs the experience of sight, in its continual change of focus from detail to broad peripheral view."
