Press Release

In April 2024, Robin White embarked on a journey to Japan to take up an artist residency in Aomori in northern Honshu, the main island of Japan, at the Aomori Contemporary Arts Centre (ACAC). The facilities are set in a cluster of beautifully designed buildings amidst rural forest; a place of great natural beauty where Robin felt very much at home.

Robin approached this new environment with an open mind, letting the tone and timbre of the new environment alight upon her before starting to work. One of the important aspects to her methodology is finding local artists she can work alongside and learn from, always integrating local materials, methods and concepts into her practice. In Finding my way in Aomori, she produceed an editioned suite of small, beautifully formed prints on washi (handmade Japanese paper). They articulate objects and places, alongside the Japanese translations of what they depict, the notion of multiples being a typically democratic way to share ideas.
