Robert Booth, “Presence”, August 28 – October 31, 2026

Robert Booth’s Presence is an exhibition of sculptural and two-dimensional work that highlights the relationship between allegory and human existence, encouraging reflection on how we make and mark meaning. Each work is packed full of recurring motifs, common symbols that stretch across the entire series in different pairings and configurations. Booth presents scenes that suggest the passage of time, consequence, and memory of something that has or will happen.

Pulling from a series of work entitled Prompts, the work in Presence reveals how Booth has flipped that core question—“What does this mean?”—onto the viewer. The symbols and contexts he creates are not intended to hold intrinsic meaning, but function as a sort of vocabulary. As a prompt for something more. As a set of ideas inviting the viewer to piece them together from personal memory and experience to articulate meaning. To tell him what it means.
