Neil Roberts (1954-2002) was an admired Canberra artist whose reputation on the national and international art scene grew over the course of 20 years. Combining glass with found materials, collected at home and abroad, including metals, tools and wood he produced new forms and sculptures. Within these objects Roberts portrays inherent characteristics and attributes of masculinity and perceptions of ‘maleness’.
