FROM THE PRINT EDITION
Dana Robinson: Artist Portfolio
Gainesville, Florida, USA
From Kolaj #18: “Many of Robinson’s series of collages show Robinson’s use of fragments as vocabulary. The lounge chair and pattern fragments in ‘Nesting’ speak to her ideas about a new home in a new city. The textures in ‘Royal Blue’ are an attempt to break down historic images into ‘patches of stylized nature’. In ‘Foliage’, she uses images of buildings to draw plants as a comment on how we reshape nature for our human convenience.” A portfolio of Robinson’s collages appears in the print edition.

This language of patterns and colours is one way we speak to the world and the vocabulary is infinite.
