episode 51 : brian robinson

In this episode Miranda speaks with Brian Robinson, a Torres Strait Islander printmaker who currently lives in Cairns, Queensland. Brian works in large scale relief prints, on average measuring one by two meters and each centimetre is filled with a dense iconography of colonial history, pop culture, and traditional Torres Strait Islander motifs. So in other words, he works big and thinks big, all with a playful lightness of being. We talk about his practice of interweaving images of pop culture with traditional carving motifs, how his relief prints influence his sculptural practice, and using a linocut to create the Parade Track for the 2017 Commonwealth Games. creative move brisbane http://creativemove.com.au/ onespace gallery https://onespacegallery.com.au/ mossenson galleries http://mossensongalleries.com.au/ SAVE DOX THRASH'S HOUSE ioby.org/project/save-historic-dox-thrash-house Shop Talk www.patreon.com/helloprintfriend YOUTUBE www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouw MERCH www.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriend WEBSITE www.helloprintfriend.com instagram www.instagram.com/helloprintfriend print gallery helloprintfriend.com/print-gallery ✨patreon✨ www.patreon.com/helloprintfriend Our sponsor Speedball www.speedballart.com
