Robin V. Robinson explores mystery and metaphors found in all forms of life, focusing especially on the way we look at the planet and ourselves. Her newest images are based on ideas about the human species and the relative permanence of the earth, with questions about our brief time here. This unique moment on the planet is unsettling and desires perspective. Robinson’s images provide intimate suggestions of our physical and spiritual place in this liminal state.
Ongoing work includes in-water images evoking curiosity about the ocean’s deep landscape, how it relates to dry land, and what is “normal” for human beings, now and in our rapidly changing environment. Robinson’s “Surfacing” series explores the tension we feel on the water and in life, on the edge between what is above and below, between the known and unknown.
Robinson embraces the element of chance: “My time in the darkroom is full of ‘what-ifs.’ I use the experimental nature of chemistry to explore pathways which are magical, alchemical in feeling, transformational in the end. This type of play and chance are what I love about the analog photography process, not to mention a satisfying original print.”
Robinson studied with West Coast Photography mentors, and at City College SF and Foothill College. Her degrees in engineering and music from Cal Poly and Stanford Universities, and her personal studies of depth psychology contribute to her distinctive style of seeing and creating art. Robinson’s work is in the permanent collections of the Monterey Museum of Art, the Bibliotheque Nationale de France and the National Mariners’ Museum.
