​

Robinsons sculpture are the result of careful selection and piecing together of fragments, remnants and re-appropriation of furniture and found objects. 

The act of making begins with improvising with the ordinary and every day. This has been an underpinning theme over many years and continues to fascinate his curiosity for the unpredictable and strangely familiar within a domestic context.

 

Increasingly, the found object has been appropriated in his work providing the starting point for a reconstruction or deconstruction. The elements he uses reflect on their original function and collectively reassert themselves, making the familiar, unfamiliar.
