Robyn BERNADT
Robyn Bernadt, based in Boorloo (Perth), graduated from Edith Cowan University with a Bachelor of Visual Art in 1999. For over two decades, she has explored the possibilities of paper as a medium. Bernadt selects paper with prior histories, including family photographs, stained cookbook pages, advertising catalogues and fashion magazines, each holding traces of use and memory. She splices, weaves and hole-punches these papers, disrupting their original functions.
Rather than decorate the surface, Bernadt exposes the frameworks that shape ideas of gender, domesticity and value. By blurring the boundaries between high art and everyday life, she gives overlooked materials new presence and value. Employing traditional craft practices historically tied to women’s labour and the domestic space, Bernadt reshapes print media into exquisite objects. Her process becomes both a method of making and a quiet mode of critique.
What emerges exposes the hidden structures these magazines uphold, making visible the gendered labour and expectation and the soft coercion embedded in lifestyle marketing.
