Biography

Julia Robinson was born in Adelaide in 1981[4] and studied visual arts at Adelaide Central School of Art.[5] She is married to fellow artist Roy Ananda.[6]

Artistic style and subject

Robinson works in sculpture and installation art, using textiles and costuming techniques to produce her sculptures.[7] She makes animal figures from scratch, using flywire, fabrics and other materials.[8] Sex and death are major themes of her work[9] and she draws her inspiration from folklore, mythology and the occult.[10] Her artwork, Beatrice, featured in the 2020 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art and exhibited at the Museum of Economic Botany,[11] is inspired by Scylla from Homer’s The Odyssey and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story, ‘Rappacini’s Daughter’.[12]
