NO ROAD MOST TRAVELED
Levi Robb, 2019

NO ROAD MOST TRAVELED presents a body of work that incorporates visual vocabularies stemming from the intersection of human and landscape. Domestication of land over time, depletion of wildness, and the objectivity left behind through the process of human living are underlying themes found throughout the collection. The work invites the viewer to consider the reciprocal relationship of human and landscape — what people and culture hold to be sacred, what is considered commodity, and the impact of time. Viewing the collection holistically allows viewers to compare subtle regional dichotomies and similarities found within the work — everything is unique, but also, the same.
 
This assemblage includes work produced during 2018 residencies Robb completed in Reykjavik, Iceland and at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Central Kansas, as well as time spent at his home in the Mississippi River Valley of Iowa.

About the Artist:
Levi Robb is an artist and architect based in Des Moines, IA.  Robb’s work explores the entanglement of person and context — time and atmosphere. With a focus on the formal objectivity of place, the work is influenced by human interface with environment, landscape, and artifact. Through acts of printmaking, sculpture, installation and an interaction with locality the work emerges, a visual interpretation and record of an act in context.

The emanation of the work embodies a dichotomy between permanent and impermanent objects and mark making. Human relationship with site based artifacts, and the interrelationship between the material and immaterial, are often common underlying themes throughout his work. Through the analysis, manipulation and reinterpretation of latent items and specific spatial conditions the work takes on a continual timeline with an inherent connection to the past. This process yields a unique body of formal objects that speak to cultural identity and concretize the idea of contemporary relics. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in both public and private collections.
