Robin Tarbet

Playing on our desire for wonder and curiosity, whilst prompting us to question our everyday perceptive assumptions, my work inhabits an ambiguous place between reality and fantasy.

My own fascination with illusion and the unusual effects of scale and perspective leads me to dismantle, dissect, and distort everyday objects and appliances. I purposely re-generate the redundant, which enables me to create work that at a first glance is aimed to be familiar, but subtly transforms to be intriguing and not what it first appears to be"
