Revolve

In Revolve, Robin Crocker combines her interest in poetry and sculpture in the round and in relief, and her technical expertise in patination (coloring metals by oxidizing them with chemical reactions that she learned at the Johnson Atelier in New Jersey). Reading the poetry involves circumambulation, recalling the circumambulation of stupas in India, the process of which slows one’s reading, and deciphering of words. Such effort to get the messages in her work requires involvement and rewards the viewer with insight into universal truths.
