Katie Roberts
The Yarra
Series
Hello,
I am Katie Roberts, an Australian artist working in Melbourne/Naarm.
I make everything from large-scale works on paper to projection installations.
​
Since finishing my Masters of Fine Art in 2006 on the topic of Light as a Medium, I have been been engaged in a ongoing body of work re-mapping the Yarra River (Birrarung), its history and environment. I aim to make work that includes and acknowledges the hidden histories still present on the land and addresses ongoing colonisation.
​
Central to my work is our human relationship to the environment and the destructive and creative powers of humankind.
I make artwork out in nature along the rivers and creeks of Melbourne/Naarm and further into the land, in my little art van Xanthea – I am currently travelling to South Australia and New South Wales making artwork.
Please feel free to contact me regarding my work at katierobertsart@gmail.com
