Artist's statement
As wallpaper clashes with curtains, two wooden deer kiss on the mantel and a sunset is the only refuge from the banality of beige. Nicole Robson’s work investigates the domestic space, seeing it as a set or stage, these private interiors become the backdrops to our lives, forming identity.

The sets are laden with objects; images and decoration usually associated with teenage girls, assembled from memories, both from Nicole’s own experience and from popular culture. Horses, kittens & ballet dancers are examples of ‘types’ of girls’ rooms. The viewer may initially perceive each room as a new room, however the repetition of the layout and object types creates a pattern. The evidence of artifice prompts the viewer to question the validity of the images, encouraging a natural inclination to look for similarities and differences and make sense of what is seen. Narratives are created through association and memory.

Currently Nicole is a Postgraduate student at the University of Tasmania.
