Artist Statement

In this series of paintings of pale icebergs, I am reflecting on physicist Carlo Rovelli's thesis on time and the nature of the world. Rovelli posits that "The world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events". Impermanence and entropy, not stasis, are ubiquitous. Events and processes have a limited duration making the world more like a network of kisses, brief and fleeting, than of stone.

About the Artist

Robyn Penn

I am a South-African born, Kiwi artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Through a practice that straddles painting, print-making and drawing, I explore the relationship between nature and human-kind; experience and knowledge. I am a traditionally trained artist; drawing and painting are a way for me to watch and record time passing, to see into the heart of things.
