Artwork > Coles Material Study

Coles magazine, filled with recipes and product advertising, promotes a tidy ideal of domestic life —efficient, cheerful, and carefully managed. It suggests that the perfect woman plans well, shops wisely, and makes it all look effortless.

In Coles Material Study, Robyn crafts pages from Coles magazine into traditional woven patterns—houndstooth, arrowhead, and plaid. The result is glitchy, fragmented and chaotic, disrupting the material’s original function as a vehicle for lifestyle marketing and consumer influence.
