Nest
A review and images from my installation at Rubicon ARI, Queensbury St, Melbourne August 2016 “Very cool to drop in on Stefanie Robinsons installation at Rubicon ARI today……we walk into a white space, walls , floor and ceiling . Hanging from the roof detritus ropes, sun worn ,ocean swept , sometimes unravelled and frayed . At intermittent points the ropes flair out into beautifully woven nests before being drawn back to follow gravity and continue to the floor where some coil , frayed ends tickle the floor, a minute nest, the essence of intimacy and well being , nestles…
nest… upcoming installation
Today is the 1st of August… I have 17 days until … Nest Stories in rope and clay “Today I bring inside the heavy brown rope and start to pull it apart It is thick with dirt, dust and oil. It holds a story of work. It is rugged and strong, like an old farmer who has spent his life in the fields…” These nests have been woven from rope and formed in clay. Fragile containers for hope: an invocation for shelter, security and safety for all. This work is my response to her experiences as a…

Scenes on the Yarra
I sent a lovely day yesterday in Williamstown as apart of the final Scenes on the Yarra guided performance/installation celebrating the Yarra River, created by Jeminah Reidy. I installed a collection of nests in trees along Nelson Parade and highlighted them with a sound scape created by Dean Lombard. The soundscape include a song that he had written in response to one of the nests I had made from rope found washed up on the newport breakwater. The long tails of the nests reached down to the footpath. As I sat and waited for the performance to pass through I…

The Village….. part 2
So quickly it happens…. The Village has gone up, and been taken done and now rests in a box in the studio. Except the shipping rope which is still sitting in the back of the car waiting for that extra person to be available to help us lift it out! Thanks to all of those who made it to have a look. I received a lot of positive feedback and have the vision for the next one…. Here are some photos from the opening….
The Village is up and open…..
On Monday I installed The Village at Trocadero Gallery In Footscray. Paul Blackman, an old friend and fabulous artist with a great eye for installation helped. getting the shipping rope up the stairs was a challenge but totally worth it. This exhibition will be open from September 2nd – 19th Wednesday – Saturday 12 – 5pm The opening is on Saturday 5th 4 – 6 pm These are just a few of the photos I snapped after the installation…. there will be more!
The Village
The post cards arrived today…. How exciting Its been a gentle 5 year process of sewing and weaving these vessels. I am looking forward to seeing them hang together in the gallery.

WildWildGoose Contained was a 3 month residency by Dagmara in 2 shipping containers next to the Maribrynong Rver in Footscray (Melbourne) Check put the other work that was created in this space on the Facebook page Wildwildgoosecontained On the overpass bridge next to the container are two enormous pasted up photos of Uncle Larry, gently watching over us, and those who pass by. Across the river a depot of shipping containers a 24 hour flow of trucks and cranes Next to us a…
