Built by Contrast at Box Gallery, Manning

Robi Szalay works primarily with textiles and print, with a focus on the visceral, creating a quiet, sensory space for the viewer to reflect. In this exhibition, her lace work is used to show how one technique can be interpreted in different ways; a comment on the unique perspective of the individual and how we can all see things differently.

Other works combine several techniques, expressing a coming together and embracing of contrast and difference. Robi celebrates these contrasts as a metaphor for their potential contribution toward the building of a rich and vibrant future, together.

She is drawn to the ephemeral beauty and imperfection of the hand-made. Robi’s artworks and wearable creations can be viewed and purchased at www.robiszalayartist.com.
