Robyn Nesbitt

Robyn Nesbitt (born 1984) is a South African artist currently living and working in Johannesburg.[1] Nesbitt's work is distinguished by her meticulous observation of everyday events ranging from the ordinary routines of our life to the celestial routines that surround us.[2] Humorous, poetic, and banal moments become stylized in mediums which include research, process, documentation, drawing, video, and photography.[3][4][5][6] She often collaborates with Nina Barnett.[7]
