  The symbolic sculptures of John Robinson
• Creator:
  Brown, Ronnie
• Description:
  The aim of this article is to explore the questions of ‘Knowledge: representation and interpretation’ in the context of the Universe Series of Symbolic Sculptures by John Robinson. The intention is to point out some questions, and ask for help in pursuing them.One reason for this article is that in the broad sweep of this volume it seemed reasonable for art to have some place. Certainly an artist is involved with representation and interpretation. This is particularly clear in Robinson’s work, with his notion and use of‘symbol’ which we will explore later. This leaves the open question of whether we should call the work of an artist ‘knowledge’. Asking this question is in no way intended to devalue art, and it may be even be doing the opposite. It is partly a question of use of words.
