“Deconstructed body parts are commonplace in Robyn Gibson’s Devonport studio. Anatomical shards in every conceivable shape and size are spread from cluttered corner to cluttered corner across every crumpled crevice and paint-splattered surface. Effigies await the magician to conjure them into some composite of her imagination.” Text with kind thanks to Jason Burgess
