About Robyn A. Frank Artworks

My work is a celebration of change. Thinking about change as the cyclical duality of creation and loss. Creation and loss like ebb and flow, birth and death, inhale and exhale — a constant cycle happening with or without attention. The work frames change as relational practice and a relational experience. Bringing to that experience of relationships, as one that is active and create-able, changeable. Visually, these ideas are explored through format, shape, and color. Repeating or reflecting shapes represent the duality of self — the innate up and down of all things — or to symbolize change across time or context. Color is used symbolically. Gradients are an expression of transformation, of change. The gradient fields connect to observable sky hues during shifting times of the day and year. Robyn A.
