Levi Robb is a multidisciplinary artist and architect. Robb’s work explores the role of material perception and identity within social, environmental, and cultural contexts. His practice investigates how we attach memory to object, landscape and architecture – how we search for joy and fulfillment within the confines of these day-to-day items – and how their applied labels shift and evolve over time. The formal qualities of his work visually breakdown, abstract and reconstruct discarded forms – often transposing cast objects and material found on the landscape by reassembling the castings as archetypal sculpture. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in both public and private collections.
