About the artwork and sitter
The sitter for this piece is Lewis’s father Trevor Floyd Robinson.
Affectionately referred to as ‘pop,’ Lewis’s father is a Bidjara man from central west Queensland.
Lewis talks of the amazingly tough and challenging upbringing his father experienced, suffering from imposed dislocation, seperation, and regulation.
Not only did he survive, he went on to thrive, working as a professional, owning a business, and raising a family.
‘This piece speaks of strength, resilience, and success as he walked in two worlds with the odds stacked against him.’
‘My Pop. Our Patriarch.’
