Robin L Roi

Artist Statement: Robin Roi’s work, mostly mixed media paintings on paper, employ a great deal of pattern, not only as a central theme but often as the structural support beneath her imagery. Historic, botanic, and cross-cultural patterns—including quilts, wallpaper, fabric, tattoos, fields of tobacco, corn-rowed hair designs, stacks of grocery store melons—are an endless supply of inspiration for her 2- and 3-dimensional work. Roi’s mixed media work use monoprinting, found papers and other materials collected over decades. These are layered with personal symbols and imagery creating narratives with both visual and metaphorical depth.
