Carolyn Roberts 

Biography

Carolyn Roberts is a UK born, multi-media artist, who lives and works in Melbourne. She has exhibited widely, won several awards and has works in major collections. She completed a Master of Fine Art research degree from Monash University in 2007.

Works encompass ceramic sculpture, installation, photography and painting. Conceptually her work is broadly concerned with the body and perception, both the physical body and also the ways in which we perceive our selves in relation to time and place.

A recurring area of interest is that of the journey both in a literal and a metaphorical sense. 

This body of work concentrates on the littoral – that place of transition between land and sea – an unstable place where habitats collide; the point where the voyage begins and ends.

Most recently she has been exploring the technically challenging, but also very rewarding medium of watercolour, as a way that seems appropriate to resolve these latest works –narratives of the littoral.
