In Robbin’s ongoing body of work, she considers her experiences and memories from the first eleven years of her life. Childhood photographs, objects and memories that all come from her childhood home, and the home itself, are her main source of reference. Robbin is currently interested in the importance of the materials she uses to create works based on these references and how they inform her decisions to recreate or reform these memories or the nostalgia that is tied to them. Materials such as fabric and the act of embroidering, concrete and the act of placing her handprint into wet cement or recreating precious objects out of similar materials as the original object, such as plexiglass for a bear necklace or wood for a parrot hairpin. Much like the paintings from her solo show, You’d Be Home Now, which was at CFA Downtown Studio June of 2019, she is still interested in colorful, playfulness with semi-abstracted forms, or naïve childlike created forms, and actual objects that are markers of childhood, not of just her own childhood but possibly for the viewers as well. This experimentation with material and the relationship to the memory and objects has helped her place a deeper meaning to her process of how to figure out what home is for her and what her interpretation and relationship is to place.
