Slinky Black Dress
Will Robinson has the ability to convey through the elegance of his large stone sculptures that their creation is effortless. His sculptures emphasize the contrast between cut and polished aspects of the stones, highlighting the natural properties in each. Often looking to nature and the elements within it for inspiration, Robinson's sculptures capture a myriad of subtleties that must be continuously explored.
Human figures have always entranced me, but I only started carving them in earnest in the last few years. This black dress is a figure study in black basalt. My intent is to create an echo of a shapely woman’s form in a slinky black dress. The piece is designed to have an ambiguous front, prompting one to explore it from different sides. Each view is an aspect of its charm. — Will Robinson
