LYNNE ROBERTS–GOODWIN

Lynne Roberts-Goodwin is an artist whose photography, sculpture and video works are exhibited and engaged with internationally. Roberts-Goodwin completed her undergraduate studies in fine arts at National Art School, UNSW College of Fine Arts & The University of Sydney (Hons.). Awarded the Art Gallery of New South Wales Moyra Dyring Travelling Art Scholarship, gaining Master of Fine Art (1981-1982) at University of Manchester, U.K.

Accumulatively, Roberts-Goodwin’s large-scale projects which primarily employ photographic mediums, form an ongoing estranged journey or narrative, tracking complex conditions of place that have had an impact, over time upon cultural consciousness. Over the last forty years, the artist has undertaken projects within remote terrains & photographed landscapes globally, documenting how ecological systems, borders & cultural traces are reshaping our planet. Through photographic projects of contested territories & environmental change (Dead Sea, Jordan), endangered species (Mumbai, India), deforestation (Akamul, Mexico), & salt mining extractions (Lake Tuz, Turkey and Shark Bay, Western Australia), Roberts-Goodwin’s images are at times simultaneously sublime & terrifying, chronicling the insatiable demand for seemingly finite earth resources from rapidly accelerating & shifting displaced populations & cultural heritage. The artist continues to work on projects with aligned institutional support in locations such as India, Italy, France, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, North America, Mexico through to the Pacific regions of Japan, Vietnam & China.
