Cupboard Love is an installation of mixed-media drawings of everyday life by Katya Robin on show at Prosaic Projects in the breakout area and kitchenette Bloc Studios, Sheffield.
Katya describes it as “A peek inside my practice—part retrospective, part pantry—where I open the cupboard doors to review my stored work and cook up fresh ideas.”
The series of cleaners, titled Putzfrau (German for 'cleaning lady'), is painted in Prussian Blue, a highly staining pigment. Yellow acrylic accents are used to suggest the plastic cleaning equipment.
Above the kitchenette area are a selection of Katya’s Mourning Coffee Set. The spelling ‘Mourning’ is intentional as an allusion to grief.
Katya’s work blends personal narrative and social commentary, presenting domestic life as a place of creativity, memory, and connection.
