Constructing images drawn from dreams, world news and personal experience, Robin Ay masterfully stages dolls as her subjects, using colour and meticulous lighting to create an impactful message. Robin, a Fine Art Photography graduate of Academy of Art University in San Francisco, is featured in Creative Quarterly v. 73 Winter 2023. Her most recent work can be seen in ArtAscent Art & Literature Journal "Future" v.62 April 2024.
"I like to watch the world around me and my art is the reaction. Politics, social issues, and self discovery- I expose most topics through an ever-evolving mastery of satire.
Still life or constructed reality, these images reflect my atypical insight and can, at times, be shocking. They are honest, conceptual views of the world around us, an exploration into myself, and evidence of our interactions with one another." -RA
