Susan Robb’s post-medium practice is an ongoing exploration of the interrelatedness of place and people.

Drawing on her own travel experiences, the utopian thought at play in intentional communities, and the hands-on ethos of DIY subcultures, Robb depicts the kaleidoscopic relationship we have with our surroundings though a combination of poetic applications of technology (from muscle-wire circuitry to methane digesters), an interrogation and manipulation of materials (giant black plastic bags to cultured crystals), and a re-purposing of forms, and sites (bike parking-as-social hub; hiking trail-as-game space).

She infuses her peripatetic explorations with a pared down minimalism-meets-post-apocalypse aesthetic, creating art that animates and illuminates the prismatic intersections of culture and nature.
