Jenny Robinson’s work explores the visual language of architecture, structure, and form, often reimagining familiar elements of the built and natural environment through abstraction and deconstruction. Drawing on symmetry, tessellation, and formal reduction, she reframes recognizable spaces — industrial sites, frameworks, and skeletal structures — into new, imagined constructs that are at once familiar and transformed. Her work blurs the line between observation and invention, inviting viewers to reconsider the spaces that shape collective memory.

Materiality is central to Robinson’s practice. Her large-scale drypoints are printed on gampi tissue — a lightweight, translucent, yet exceptionally strong paper — chosen for its delicate physical properties and conceptual resonance. The tension between the fragility of the medium and the weight and solidity of her subject matter echoes the paradox inherent in her work: the illusion of permanence in environments that are, by nature, impermanent.

Referencing the visionary spirit of the paper architects, Robinson uses printmaking as both a technical and conceptual tool — constructing spaces that exist between reality and imagination, solidity and dissolution. Her practice becomes a meditation on time, process, and the shifting relationship between material, memory, and the environments we inhabit.

Referencing traditions of both architectural drawing and experimental printmaking, Robinson’s work captures a shifting relationship between space, time, and material — a distilled reflection of how we inhabit, record, and let go of the structures around us.
