Exhibition: Whimsical weavings and more

Robin Catalano uses found materials, scraps, oddments and discarded items to create her artworks.

She starts with a handful of materials and waits to see what will happen. She sits with the growing creation until it declares itself finished. The journey to a finished article can take hours, days, weeks or months. Using mostly salvaged materials encourages Robin to be more creative.

This dynamic and whimsical body of work is predominantly a weaving and twining of collected materials that are reused and repurposed. It mirrors her life which is a twining of experiences, thoughts and actions that are reused and recycled creating a life of meaning and purpose.

Robin also works as an art therapist in the aged and dementia care sector encouraging connection and creativity. As an art therapist she has created Sensory Connections boxes for use in care residences.
