Sarah
Robinson's recent work with light-box images mapping fetal blood
circulation, constructed from text, drawings, photo-etching transparencies
and
the use of disintegrated polaroid collages, represents a subtle shift
in the approach to her practice.
As a Fine Artist-Printmaker Robinson's work has strongly emphasized
the quality of expressive line through drawing and printmaking to
explore notions surrounding the Human Condition.
Her current concern with the theme of Motherhood lies within investigating
the layering of images as a metaphor for the gradual awareness the
child has of its own body as being a separate entity from that of
its mother.
No longer physically dependent on the mother through her feelings
associated with pain and nurture as suggested in earlier works, the
recent images such as 'Transcendence I' seek to express the physical
and psychological movement of the child away from the mother.
The aim of Robinson's exploration utilizing her strong printmaking
skills and manipulating etchings with photographic media will be to
produce a series of large scale translucent images, that surround
and reveal the notion of 'Kinesthesia'.
This new work will continue to reveal a personal sensitivity that
is inherent in the work of Sarah Robinson.
