A sectional experimental work dealing with the representation of nature and man-made ‘constructs.’

Abstract concepts/constructions, fabrications will be collectively represented.

Recent exhibitions of his work have included representations about nature featuring figures and constructed environments.

Works often question the notion of what is being represented and the tension between the fabricated representation and the original.. He has developed a system/inventory of components (elements/characters/images) that appear in his presentations in random rotation. Through the use of this reproduction, The variations presented employing these components are usually non linear and infinite.

 The influence of virtual/digital technology and design is often used as the source for works- in the way the visual information is superimposed in successive layers within the works.

The process involves the arranging and reconfiguring of a variety of observable and physical phenomena, including signs/figures and landscape and architectural references, recognizable imagery.

Robbins work is represented and shown in collections of Dallas CBD division of public works, the Amarillo Museum of Art among others.
