For mixed media artist Skye Robertson, inspiration is never far. Intuitively drawn to old objects and messages, collage and assemblage are mediums that allow her to capture a discarded world.
Showcasing her latest collection at the Art Sydney Exhibition last week at Moore Park, Skye’s work grabbed our attention.
Stylish, balanced & multi-layered – reclaimed newspapers, record covers and piano keys are combined to create a new aesthetic.
Studying at the Sydney Institute of Design, Enmore and with an impressive work history in the art and design industry, Skye understands the importance of looking at objects in an isolated then objective manner considering shape, weight, colour, font and size.
"I'm constantly scouring markets, second-hand shops and garage sales looking for materials. I may hold onto a particular object for years before it finds its way into my art" says Skye.
