About the Item
Black Basalt Stone
“My inspiration is drawn from the sum of my life experiences, the amplified or muted, to fit my emotional state at the mo-ment when I am actually creating, designing, or working.” Will Robinson was born in Bremerton, Washington and studied History at the University of Washington. Robinson's desire to create art began at an early age, growing up in a home filled with art, antiques and Bonsai. He chooses to work primarily with stone because of its solidity and ability to withstand the elements and time. Varying textures integrate smooth and rough surfaces, creating intriguing duality in the stone. He encourages viewers to touch his work; engaging with the stone creates a connection between the medium, the artist, and the viewer. Foster/White Gallery has been exhibiting Robinson’s work since 1996. His stone sculptures are part of private and public collections throughout the United States, including the City of Bellevue Public Arts Collection (Bellevue Botanical Garden) and the Harborside Park in Bremerton, WA. Additionally, Robinson’s work was featured on the labels for the 2003 Artist Series Meritage wine, created by renowned Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery.
I have become aware of some aspects of my sculpture over time, such as the tendency to find subtle simplicity in my figures. This is seen in the subject form and surface quality of the sculpture.
Growing up in small western towns of the United States I enjoyed feelings of peacefulness and solitude that mountains and prairies have to offer. I have to say that through my sculpture I find these feelings again.
Many different sculptors both non-representational and figurative have influenced me. Henry Moore, Leonard Baskin, Noguchi Brancusi and Ernst Barlach are some of my favorites. I have tremendous admiration for primitive art as well as American Indian art. I am always in awe of African art. My work is always moving toward this simplified and mystical direction.
After growing up in the smaller towns of Texas, Wyoming and Colorado, Craig studied at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado. There he earned a B.A. in Biology and an M.A. in Sculpture. Craig worked at Shidoni foundry in Santa Fe, NM for 17 years. He worked with many famous artists, while mastering his skills in all phases of sculpture production. Craig left Shidoni in 1997 to devote himself to his own work. He has been represented in various galleries and exhibitions as well as receiving awards. Images of Craig’s have appeared in various publications. His work possesses an exquisite sense of form yet of mythical quality that is present. His sensitivity for the subject is clearly evident while subject and form blend perfectly
