“Toll” refers to the Anthropogenic impacts that have denigrated the living
environment for plants, animals and people. This piece is approximately 1.5 metres x

Artist Bio
Robyn Glade-Wright is a practising contemporary artist who has presented over 50
solo exhibitions in public and private galleries. Her works of art call attention to the
role humans have played in climate change, environmental pollution and species
loss. Beauty is used subversively in many of Glade-Wright’s creative works to gain
attention and engender reflection. Lurking behind her use of beauty lies a haunting
message, goading us into action to preserve the diversity of the natural environment
and the life forms that are dependent on these environments. Glade-Wright lives and
works in the rolling hills of Kin Kin where she makes and exhibits her work in her
sculpture garden and in Greenfields Art Gallery.
