GLOBAL

Robb’s art comments on political, cultural and social events alongside references through life experiences. Primarily through Photography/sculpture, the work translates to become global narratives . Recurring themes include, change, transition and feminism. 

Historic and contemporary cultural barriers have silently, but powerfully influenced people’s judgement, representation, and treatment of those consider less worthy in society. By-products of these influences can have negative impacts of societal and domestic relationships.
