Dana Robinson: Artist Portfolio
\nGainesville, Florida, USA<\/h2>\n

From Kolaj<\/em> #18: “Many of Robinson\u2019s series of collages show Robinson\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

This language of patterns and colours is one way we speak to the world and the vocabulary is infinite.<\/em><\/h2>\n
