Dana Robinson
Gainesville, Florida, USA

STATEMENT

The transition from blurry spots of colour, to focused hard-lined details creates a movement of thought, and of daydreaming. The floating forms are a reflection of her ideas and questions that come up in her times of solitude. Dana Robinson illustrates her moments in comfortable transitional spaces where she can pause before having to take an active role the world around her. Whether it’s the time spent awake in bed before the alarm goes off, waiting for a bus, or in a doctor’s office, the banal moments become a fascinating refuge where she can indulge in her fantasies of reality, ask and answer rhetorical questions, as well as focus on the more practical elements of a day that hold her reality together.
