“My work often begins with an honest mess and a prayer... and resolves itself full circle/spiral. Much of contemporary art embraces disruption, mess, and rupture... and so does my own human process. I allow the image to begin in an authentic calling out to God. Drips (tears), splatter (mess ups), expression and uncertainty are not mistakes; they’re thresholds. But I don’t leave myself (or the viewer) to sit there in that unresolved energy.
I don’t believe art is neutral. Images imprint. What we place on our walls becomes part of our inner weather. Where some art releases emotion and leaves it there, visionary art carries responsibility for what it activates. My work moves through the ‘mess’... something that gets to be metabolized, alchemized, and translated into empowered coherence.
Contemporary art often mirrors and encapsulates fragmentation. My responsibility is to beautify the inevitable challenges we face by fully feeling, repairing and alchemizing it as the art unfolds. The right piece doesn’t just speak to you, It recalibrates you to remember what’s on the other side. Owning it is less like buying and more like reclaiming a part of yourself that you know is here to rise. Thats the real asset.” ~ Robyn Chance
