ROBYN PHELAN
To Dwell & Respond
Wood-fired ceramic sculptures made in correspondence with the landscape of the Tallarook Ranges.
To her Tallarook residency, Robyn Phelan brought an attentive eye, a responsive body, an open heart, and bags of commercial clay. Phelan found a dramatic natural setting and connected resonantly with the granite-rich landscape. The resulting sculptural forms are hard to name; they are elusively unknowable, as is her irreconcilable relationship to this land. However, the works are intimate and tangible sensations of Phelan’s experience of this place at this time.
