About the Artist

“Guy-Robinson is interested in notions of territory. Temporary fencing is a familiar feature in our everyday surroundings. It may be so flimsy we could put a foot through it, but we tend to treat it like some effective barrier. It describes new domains- even if, by the very nature of the material that defines them, these are transient.

Guy-Robinson wants his work to explore these qualities in a wider sense. Challenging our preconceptions of outdoor sculpture as solid and monumental, his structures seem to question their very status as objects. It’s not the barrier that matters to him, but the constantly shifting dialogue that a barrier, by its very presence, promotes. It’s not the physical structure that matters so much as the moment of interruption it creates. This is the moment that opens up possibilities.”
