Lost Reflection — Peatsmoke

Collage art that incorporates many images, including part of a human leg, partial human faces, a flying bird, a window, red and blue flowers, and a yellow pear in a blue bowl next to an empty blue bowl. — “Lost Reflection” by Robin Young

about the artist

Robin Young, based in Borrego Springs, California, works in mixed media, focusing mostly on collage and contemporary art making. Her focus on collage art using magazine clippings, masking tape, wallpaper, jewelry, feathers, foil, etc. allows her to develop deep into the whimsical and intuitive. From large, life-sized pieces and 3D sculptures to small postcard-sized ones arrangements, Robin's keen eye and gripping aesthetic guide her viewers into her own semi-readymade world. Repurposing these nostalgic images for lighthearted and sometimes disquieting messages.
