Robyn Stacey
Robyn Stacey is a Sydney-based artist whose large-scale photographs are influenced as much by traditional still-life painting as they are by contemporary art.
The painstakingly constructed photographs currently installed at William St were created using objects from the the collections of the NSW Historic Houses Trust. By recreating the lavish interiors of 19th Century estates such as Elizabeth Bay House and Vaucluse House, Stacey’s allows us not only to glance into earlier worlds, but to consider hierarchies of taste, culture and knowledge.
