DUNCAN ROBINS:
HUMAN-NATURE
DECEMBER 21 THROUGH FEBRUARY 9
Reflecting on our complex, evolving relationship with the natural world using driftwood and spray paint. Humans once coexisted with Nature in a balanced relationship. Together, we lived harmoniously and in abundance on Earth. That is, until Man created and then began exploiting technology. This exhibit of driftwood sculptures and sprayed paintings portrays our complex and evolving relationship with Nature.
Sculptures are made with as few, as-found pieces of driftwood as possible. Minimal shaping may aid assembly or recognition. Some oil paint may camouflage distracting elements. Paintings are sprayed on canvas. Pen, brush or sponges used on occasion. The simplified images are drawn/designed in a square, iconic format.
Thank you to Holly Yashi and Crestmark Millwork for their generous support!
