Heather Roobinson’s paintings have multiple layers of color and pattern with each layer revealing a new level of space or strata. Starting with a piece of fabric at the base and adding elements both rigid and spontaneous, The artist builds up a rich surface over time with contrasting colors and design. The result is, in a sense, a representation of my mental state while creating - a push and pull between order and disorder, and space and time.
Heather’s series “Pattern Seeking” is about optimism in the face of evidence to the contrary. In an increasingly chaotic and uncertain time, Heather paints to evoke positive emotions, even if I’m not always feeling them myself. The repeating textile patterns that serve as my inspiration are meditative and soothing in their regularity, a reminder of threads winding through history and my tiny place in the world. She strives to create a harmonious whole and a beautifully finished work, putting down colors and patterns that interact iin a way that satisfyingly weaves into each other - this all affects me for the better, as I hope it affects the viewer.
