Robin McDonnell celebrates process. She fuses painting and sculpture to create a tactile and expressive body of work. The surfaces of her new sculptures are energized by using spray paint to layer transparent color on forms that appear off-balanced and ready to topple. The sculptures are made from Styrofoam and cardboard encased in epoxy with the intent of repurposing post-consumer waste. Both sculpture and paintings exemplify a driven exploration of color, movement, and idiosyncratic form. Robin states that her concerns have to do with "nature and change - utilizing an intuitive material based process and abstract language." Sublime despite their modest scale-- gesture, space and color evoke the moment of making.
