Accidental Revolutionary

Accidental Revolutionary

Simultaneously serious and humorous the work of Andrew Cornell Robinson encompasses drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, fashion, photography, music, and collaboration as performance through process. Each element is connected by the abstraction and distortion of a reimagined narrative that he creates images and artifacts for and about. Flying in the face of traditional craft, Robinson’s ceramics are distorted objects; from pottery to weapons, and uniforms, to improbable things he explores thematically controversial themes including the inner life of revolutionaries, class war, aristocratic entitlement, criminality, agitprop, queer sexuality, etc. Robinson’s work tackles dualities and notions of guilt and innocence, transgression and hypocrisy, privilege and terror, violence, sexuality, revolution and humor. This monograph offers a series of essays, a poem by Steve Turtell presented as a manifesto; revealing intriguing insights into the world that Andrew creates in drawings, printmaking, costume, photography, and ceramics.

Three of Cups

Inspired by the Three of Cups Tarot card, which is said to resonate with a spirit of creativity, wisdom, abundance, and harmony. Creating by throwing a white stoneware clay on the wheel, and extruding exaggerated handles to hang these sculptural cups from an oak gallows, a nod to my ancestor a woman accused of witchcraft in Salem.
