“Robin’s disregard for perfection in form teases the viewer’s preconceived interpretation of flawless human anatomy. Beyond the bent line is movement. Beyond the distorted gesture is emotion. Beyond the asymmetric unintended is a composition that tests
our real understanding of true beauty.” -Dani Fuller, Owner and artist, Fuller Art House, Sylvania, Ohio

"Liminal Spaces"
For me, painting is moving through transitions, transforming the spaces of life. Each painting emerges through stages of imagination, design, and layers of color. At each point in its evolution, I feel a sense of unsettled anticipation and uncertainty. What will this painting reveal? “mother and child” explores the liminality of the ultimate human creation. A mother’s body is an essential but temporary vessel for the development of a new human life, a transitional space between being and non-being. The baby emerges and corporeal connection is severed; an inevitable separation.The mother’s liminal space is more complex, encompassing her feelings, hopes and dreams for the future of this unknown being as well as their relationship to one another”. Oneness becomes twoness. What will this new relation bring? The future is unknowable and yet universal. It ends here. It begins here.” ~robin Liminal space is artfully expressed in Paul Klee’s epitaph, “I cannot be grasped in the here and now, For my dwelling place is as much among the dead, As the yet unborn, Slightly closer to the heart of creation than usual, But still not close enough.”
