Emilee Robinson

2. Emilee Robinson, thomas, 2024, platinum silicone, toner and vinyl on MDF board, 30 x 24.5 x 3 cm. $750.

Expressions of the past can be experienced through memory. thomas (2024) investigates a genuine loss, and a longing to revive a time that is destined to remain buried. The work presents something remembered, something embedded in a fugue, yet too distant to be recovered in totality.

3. Emilee Robinson, the husk, 2022, digital print collage, Hahnemuhle photo rag, 70 x 30 cm (framed), 20 x 20 cm (each). $480 (framed).

Comprised of found childhood objects and sketchbook drawings, the husk (2023) consolidates the sentimental with a sincere reflection of the present. The work presents a storybook triptych generated from digital printing techniques to retell a “life story” from ones encountered and discarded remnants.

Emilee Robinson (b. 2000) is an expanded printmedia artist, living and working on unceded Gadigal land.

Robinson’s work occupies a field in post-freudian and anthropological theory, with an interest in preserving and reviving the past. Hovering between the presence and absence of memory, overarching themes include loss, attachment and sentimentality and an investigation into “growing-up” as an irreversible force. Nostalgic symbols occupy a majority of Robinson’s practice, providing insights into objects that create portals into an inaccessible time. Her work further explores the integration of new materials into the print matrix and techniques that transcend an established visual language in the discipline’s rich history.

Robinson is currently in her first year of her Master of Fine Art at the National Art School.
