Robert's collages reflect a way of seeing the world as a unified whole; a variety of particular elements coming together as a unity is the subject matter of his work.

He makes collages from cutout canvas for it's directness and tactile qualities. pushing for variety and unity until all the elements resolve into a vibrating stillness that delights and nourishes like a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
