Name: Robert Ripps
Class Year(s): 1983
Note: Robert Ripps ’83 (GAP) has an ongoing project called "Negativityness Abounds", which started as his response to the political climate in America for the last several years - everything seems to be about negativity, about division, about what is truth (and what is inarguably false, yet touted as truth). It is about how the surface of things can be 180 degrees opposite from what is underneath; it is about falsehoods and unseen influence. It is about discordance, about disorientation, about a world turned upside down and inside out. What was familiar and perhaps mundane has now taken on a sense of surrealism and unfamiliarity, which leaves us feeling unsure, confused and helpless, powerless to get a handle on events affecting our daily lives. Even now, with the advent of Covid-19, the lies and misinformation continue unabated worldwide, and his series has broadened to deal with visual representations related to the pandemic. His imagery has also grown to include buildings and landmarks, which had pretty much closed and became deserted- what would happen to them if nature took hold, if vegetation overgrew the familiar and transformed it into something altogether different and foreign looking, but also strange and beautiful?
