Statement
Robert's work to date has involved making objects from elemental building blocks, structured by a geometrical logic. He has focused his work on the use of visual rhythms, patterns and symmetries, on the effects of scale on perception, and on methods of deconstruction and reconstruction.
Currently he is exploring variations of the structural methodology used in his earlier work. He has started applying these variations to hollowed out forms which are more skeletal or see through in nature. As a result interference patterns and other interplays between positive and negative space have surfaced. This has prompted him to investigate forms which move or shift dramatically in appearance as the viewer moves.
