Robyn Staines's

The double opening celebration

Everyone is welcome.
'Erosion 1'
'Erosion 2'
Both North Coast TAFE Visual Arts students,
Robyn and Sophia have created bodies of work for their exhibitions
which explore the concept of narcissistic abuse.
While the works in 'Erosion' focus on the abuse of power,
those of 'Dark Matter' investigate what creates violence in relationships.
EROSION
Sophia’s abstract charcoal drawings
are an exploration of the abuse of power
within the context of religion,
intimate relationships and culture.
She examines the erosion of identity, self-esteem and trust
and how this undermines personal empowerment and freedom.
