Marrow Gallery presents Incantations for the Average Person, a solo exhibition from Stephanie Robison. The Oakland based artist works in hand carved stone and hand felted wool. Robison’s analog sculptures are wacky, humorous, eccentric and full of personality. In their materiality they comment on our physical selves, our emotional realms, the awkwardness of our interactions.  

The focus of Incantations for the Average Person is imaginary places, and the artist’s musings. Castle (shown) presents a Sylvanian wonderland, an imagined utopia. In the contradiction of material and the shock of color Robison’s daydreams make for fantastical objects. Escapism manifests as an incongruous pairing of hard stone and soft wool coupled in harmony. Robison’s labor intensive works are eagerly tactile, they call to us in comfort, a testament to the time and evolution the artist has made of the fantasy and materials.
