Artist Statement

Rob is an artist and maker and is currently studying Fine Art at Belfast Metropolitan College. He has exhibited paintings and sculptures and is a collaborator with Gary Watson on short films and video installations.

His work engages the audience by using familiar forms and materials in an unfamiliar way. The creative process is all important and often involves simplifying and abstracting elements of the theme to respond to the material being used.
