A bit about Tim Robinson: “I started out trying to be a painter but the NYC artworld was no place for me… I drifted into songwriting and found it just as visual, in a way more so. That clicked and I became a bit obsessed, writing hundreds of songs [though, oddly] recording none. I scaled down the painting to small collage work, made from junk, mostly stuff I picked up off the ground around the city. Sometimes I would do it block by block… a piece might be called “Schermerorn, between Court and Henry”, that sort of thing. As the computer crept into my life, I discovered the business of internet junk picking and began experimenting with digital collage. I grab things, mess with them a bit and just start throwing elements together. Magical things happen then, what was an engine diagram suddenly seems soulful next to a bird. Anyway, it’s an ongoing experiment. I hope folks find something to pivot on in all of it.”
