Through his process, cuts are made and forms brought forth. Surfaces are worked and varied, but the stone itself is never fully obscured. Robinson has a deep appreciation for the durability of stone and the forces which formed it eons ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn response to this medium, he intuitively imparts his story, creating sculptures evocative of the forces of nature or referencing the fauna of the Northwest. At times the works are figural, inspired by the movement of the body or exist as characters unto themselves. After decades of personal artistic evolution, Robinson considers his own timeline in parallel with the journey of these ancient rocks. He is reminded that they were here long before us, and they will remain long after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional works not featured online will be available to view in gallery during the First Thursday opening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a listing of more available work and biographical information, please visit Will Robinson's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Will Robinson | Main Page\" href=\"https:\/\/fosterwhite.com\/collections\/will-robinson\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/fosterwhite.com\/collections\/will-robinson\"\u003eprimary page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on our website.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bau-xi.co\/seattle\/Robinson%20CV.pdf\" title=\"Will Robinson CV at Foster\/White Gallery Seattle WA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/www.bau-xi.co\/seattle\/Robinson%20CV.pdf\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWill Robinson CV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"smooth-operator","title":"Smooth Operator","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWill Robinson has the ability to convey through the elegance of his large stone sculptures that their creation is effortless.
