from Hello, Print Friend · host Hello, Print Friend
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 brisbanehttp://creativemove.com.au/onespace galleryhttps://onespacegallery.com.au/mossenson gallerieshttp://mossensongalleries.com.au/SAVE DOX THRASH'S HOUSEioby.org/project/save-historic-dox-thrash-houseShop Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
