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. 

This ceramic practice often draws upon geological, geographical and architectural philosophies. 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 no expectation or outcome. A strong connection to, or reflection of, our natural world. Throughout the last year I have been digging for clay from the mountains and river systems and have been testing various glazes with 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.
