Bundanon

With engagement at remote sites undertaken in situ or aerial elevated positioning, she engages with the politics of contested sites, aligned with and acknowledging contemporary culture. Utilizing media such as photographic, video, and sculptural forms, work to date has conceptually questioned the aftermath of landscape and more recently, concepts of navigational failure, engaging the oblique lens of spatial aesthetics, i.e., the complex entanglements between local and global ideas of place.

Accumulatively, Roberts-Goodwin’s projects form an ongoing estranged journey or narrative, tracking complex conditions of place that have had an impact upon cultural consciousness.

Roberts-Goodwin and her work has been the subject of national and international residencies, fellowship awards and exhibitions within key cultural institutions, museums, and galleries. Her work is held in significant private and public collections.

Through observation, imaging, and sculptural interpretation of the aesthetics of atmospheres, particularly wind-shifts and their actions/presence/effects, the project speculates on the instability between figure/object and ground, and the ambiguous relationships linking material surface and visual illusion, to produce object-based works and aligned still/moving imagery. Affording focused time, the project considers the agency of wind and envelopment, caretaking, and awareness of narratives surrounding relationships to place in an era of dramatic change.
