RJB is a multi-media artist who has made Port Hedland home for the past thirteen years. Using a wide range of mediums and techniques, RJB explores the theme of “searching in desperate, silent isolation to discover or be discovered”, capturing the essence of this unique artistic journey.
"RJB
RJB is like tinnitus
You don't notice rjb until someone else points rjb out
Then you see rjb everywhere
In everything
And you begin to wonder if there ever was a time before rjb
And then RJB begins to drive you mad
Hiding in the vastness of the Pilbara for the past thirteen years, RJB has made use of the generosity of space and time, the lack of interruptions and the absence of personal relationships to formulate a uniqueness and a viewpoint that might be professionally described as an autistic tick.
Unconstrained from the criticisms of his peers; as there are as yet none, RJB has been free to roam to the sometimes-terrifying edges beyond cognitive acceptance and often returns with armfuls of stories to tell and gloriously unique ways of telling them. whimsically sullen, melodically insightful and delightfully stoic RJB is the commentary the end of times needs to hear."

We are all a world in amongst ourselves
Delivered on point exactly
This, a galaxy of endless possibility
God holds our regard as we orbit in universe
While Spirit moves throughout all,
Binding us together,
Eternally patient and content
And Still,
We pine for emotion we already possess
Searching for what’s within us all along
Desperate cognisance for an answer external
A selfish act, a percipient relief
Aware once truth is known
There’s no going back
