Artist Interview with Brian Robinson

A Celebration of Queensland's Flora and First Nations Culture

In this interview, Brian Robinson delves into the rich inspiration behind his stunning sculpture, Floriate. Drawing from the vibrant native flora of Queensland, Robinson beautifully intertwines the deep cultural connections that First Nations peoples share with their cherished land, sea, and sky. With its elegant plant forms and flowing, ribbon-like shapes, Floriate evokes the imagery of flowing river systems and the intricate, interconnected landscapes of Queensland, inviting viewers to explore the profound relationship between nature and culture.
