We’re sharing this video produced by Kira Mead, as a tribute to Robin, our friend and colleague.
The audio was recorded by Robin earlier in August for the Global Textile Hub.
Judi Tompkins has described Robin as a softly-spoken, reflective thinker who used her extensive professional experience and skills to synthesize fashion design/illustration; etching and silk-screen design into a very personal artistic style that expressed her love of textiles, her passion for colour and the truly satisfying tactility of fibre art.
Robin was an Australian Rugmakers Guild member for many years. Members will be familiar with her work shown throughout the Guild’s website – in fact the profile image on this website and the Australian Rugmakers Guild Facebook page was taken from one of Robin’s rugs.
Vale Robin – You will be missed.
