STILL MAKING
Robert Foster 10-Year Memorial Exhibition
11 July - 15 August 2026
Each invited artist was asked to select one item from the FINK product range and reinterpret it as an artwork. Artists were free to transform the piece in any way that reflected their practice—with no limitations on scale or quantity. They have used finished products, raw forms and off cuts from forming processes.
This project celebrates the legacy of the late Robert Foster and his influence on contemporary practice. It will feature significant original works by Robert Foster, alongside a curated series of new collaborative pieces by 10 artists who worked with him or were shaped by his ideas.
Participating artists are Ben Blakebrough, Sean Booth, Larah Nott, Cinnamon Lee, Dan Lorrimer, Sabine Pagan, Erica Seccombe, Oliver Smith, Blanche Tilden and the FINK Team.
Still Making is a celebration of a life dedicated to creativity, and a reminder that the most meaningful legacies are not fixed in the past — they continue to evolve, inspire, and make their presence felt. It is also a way to encourage makers to continue to explore ways of working with metal and keeping the craftsmanship and skills alive.
Robert Foster (1962–2016) was a prominent Australian designer and silversmith, best known for founding the Queanbeyan-based design and manufacturing company F!NK + Co. He is most famous for designing the iconic, internationally renowned F!NK Water Jug, which is featured in permanent collections of prestigious global institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Alessi Museum in Milan and the National Gallery of Australia. In 2019, Robert was inducted into the Design Institute of Australia Hall of Fame.
In this exhibition, materials are transformed, ideas are revisited, and relationships are renewed. Still Making is both a tribute and a continuation — a conversation across time, materials, and generations of practice.
