New work by Robyn Webster, Seeing Through
Never confined to one medium, Robyn Webster has worked for many years in the fine arts, while weaving with harakeke and other fibres since the 1980’s.
Robyn Webster is well renown for fusing techniques and for her purpose-built harakeke installations. A consistent thread in all her work has been her love for the environment and a concern with our place within it. Drawing on these diverse media, she explores how people connect with the earth and with each other, weaving these threads together in search of a unique yet universal expression. In this new body of work, Robyn will be exploring the concept of shields.
“What began as defence was gradually replaced by seeing, seeing past and through the protective layer. Partly obscuring but still providing cover, the shields no longer hid from or rejected that view.”
