Nadijah Robinson’s practice embodies the spirit of remixing found materials with the stories of her various communities. Community becomes both the source and the purpose of her work, as stories are reframed for the purpose of healing. Mixed media work is by nature hybrid. Working with skills developed from diverse practices such as sewing, silkscreen printing, batik making, painting, and graphic design, Nadijah Robinson’s work combines what is needed to construct a particular affecting image or experience. The historical, contextual, and sensory implications of the materials are all involved in the narrative of the artwork. A refusal of the premise of a white canvas or a blank slate, the use of found fabrics, images, and other materials acknowledges that no thing comes from nothing.
