“Visual art is about looking and being looked at. I believe that within the act of looking, unique insights into what it means to be human are communicated – insights that are unavailable in another language.”
“The languages I employ are based within the process of the collage. This means that I bring together pieces of the visual information that, when seen juxtaposed or in concert with one another, represent the insights I am seeking.” – Robin Smith Peck, 2002
