LOCKERROOM founder Monique Robinson works predominantly in ceramic, with craftsmanship that also includes sculpture, lighting and creative direction/set design.

With an Honours degree of Interior Architecture from the University of New South Wales, MR developed an interest in tactility and so LOCKERROOM was established to enable continuous exploration in these practices. 

My ceramic practice often draws upon geological, geographical and architectural influence. A focus within the work is the emphasis on hand-made, that of mark-making and impressions, that often signify a moment in time or a piece unique unto itself that cannot be remade. Less a tool of function and more of experimentation. Fostering the notion of presence, with a strong connection to, or reflection of, the truth of the earth and my lived world.

Within my practice, I dig for clay from the mountains and river systems, experimenting with surfaces comprised of the mudstones that wash down stream each time the river floods and ash remnants from the fires had in the cool winter.

 I acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr people as the first inhabitants and traditional custodians of the land on which I live and practice. I recognise the continuing connection to land, sea, culture and community. I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

All work is hand-made in

Bellingen, Australia and Monchique, Portugal.
