Robin’s practice revolves around temporal perception and how the passage of time is rendered as an observable phenomenon through the traces humankind leaves in its environment. His recent work investigates industrially scarred landscapes and the man-made objects found within them.

 

“Umbrae One and Two” enshrine the existence of found machine segments beyond time and heighten the attrition the tooth of time imparts on them. Through their repetition and symmetrical orientations in the candle clocks atop the pillars, cold steel is translated into temporally afflicted beeswax.

 

Robin graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2024 with an MA in Fine Art and is currently completing an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art.
