Annotation
In this article, Robyn is being interview on her work the "Haehae mo nga pepi Kahui" by Damian Skinner. Robyn talks about her work as something for her to show her point of view in a unique way.
I think its interesting how Robyn compares advertisement to art. She quotes " Like advertising, art has a rich history of being a way to reach people and change their minds." I think this is interesting because it is true, but the only differences is that on art work the viewers will have the freedom to analyse their own story on the art work but a advertisement it will already have a point or statement. It doesn't really give us much freedom to add our own specific meaning.
Robyn quotes "while art can be something to look at peacefully, it can also be something designed to stir up the motion and create action." I totally agree with this quote of hers art will always tell a story, but that story is up to the viewer. For example one painting will mean something different to each viewer and that what she's trying to show through her work the Haehae mo nga pepi Kahui . Robyn strongly believes that art work will always be more effective with meaning she quotes " What ever specific meaning you get from the image this works shows why art with a message can be so powerful.
