Freya Jobbins is an Australian based sculptor and printmaker, who currently works from her home studio near Sydney. Majoring in Printmaking during her art studies, she is now predominantly a sculptor.
Freya’s assemblages are like the unusual portraits of the Milanese painter Guiseppe Arcimboldo with a hint of the Toy Story Trilogy; she creates humanoid busts and portraits using a very non-traditional material: discarded children’s toys.
An artistic exploration of the relationship between consumerism and the culture of up-cycling and recycling. “I am interested in generating a range of responses to existing cultural objects, which have been placed out of context.
The irony of my plastic works is that I take a material that was created to be touched, and I make it untouchable as an artwork”. Both Freya’s prints and sculptures have been exhibited and held in collections in Australia, England, Norway, Germany, Dubai, New York, San Francisco and Tel-Aviv.
