The self-taught artist from Gainsville Florida, shes uses mass consumer materials to create her pieces. She is multi-disciplinary, working with mixed media, video, photography, and in perfomance pieces. Focusing on the themes of race, concummerism, and gender, Robinson sets out to display the complexites of modern day society through her work.
Many of her exhbitions have had a deeper politcal and societel focus, one of her more recent being
HAIRPOLITIC: The Pursuit of Nappiness. In this she used material items such as combs and magazines, to illustrate the unwritten rules of acceptable beauty within American culture.
Though she did not attend an art school, Robinson is ever-evoling- constantly expanding her boundaries as an artist and taking on new challenges. Her work is suggestive, bold, and progressive and for that reason, Robinson is someone to look out for.
