Bio:
Robinson originally attended Glasgow School of Art as a painter in the late 1970s. Excited by developments in feminist and community arts, she moved to London to work with the See Red Women's Workshop collective and has remained committed to the politics of collective working and community education. Learning to make films through the London Filmmakers' Co-op, she was also part of the Wildtrax film group working with bands and performers and making experimental shorts such as 17 Rooms before returning to art school to study in the experimental film unit at St Martins in the 1980s where she continued to show works in festival screenings and on UK TV, later attending University of Westminster to study film theory. She has taught in further, adult an higher education, most recently working on courses about artists' film.
Working with painting and film, she has been making and showing work continuously since the mid 1990s: developing a painting practice which is engaged with philosophical and perceptual considerations of temporality, in particular, working with analogue and digital film frames as markers of time. Photomedia works also explore imaginative time travel and more recently, experiments with sound have led to a series of ‘song-film' works such as Que Sera (2010) and Is It You? (2012), often combining film and performance and to performance interventions using song fragments. Her PhD thesis in 2012 was entitled: The Elusive Digital Frame and the Elasticity of Time in Painting.
