 The Age August 25, 2006 The awkward, square pink (girl) and blue (boy) robots from 2003 have been refined into archetypal automata: a fat-booted, mohawked, porcelain-red army. Farewelling a six-year obsession, Melbourne ceramicist Nid Kelly also flags new concerns. The robots' metal musculature disappears beneath incongruous decorative patterns - strawberries, roses and sunflowers. And their geometric-expressionist angles are nudged out by folk-modern curves - bubushka dolls and Jean Arp clouds. The best things are those with Kelly's own decals: the schematic red robot, truck, helicopter and Kuwait Tower on a set of white bubushkas is a small suprematist triumph. - David Hansen Nid Kelly's exhibition, Goodbye Robot is showing at Pieces of Eight August 10 - September 2, 2006
