Visceral Home

husband + wife team handcrafting timeless treasures. we plant seeds with intention to bloom creativity into sanctuary, artful refuge from the ordinary, foraging intimate bonds with self, space, and home. Taylor (b.1994) and Connor Robinson (b.1992) are Charleston, SC-based artists creating sculptural mixed media artwork using the moniker visceral home. Our works interpret the human psyche — for trauma and healing, the passage of time, and the relationship between the human experience and the natural world. Over the past few years, we’ve honed in on a practice where married partners collaborate: Connor creates handcrafted frames and surfaces on which Taylor paints abstract images. Our art is a kinship of two individual processes and personal meditative techniques that ultimately combine to achieve one thoughtfully balanced vision. The complexities of coping with cPTSD and substance use disorder are threaded throughout their works, revealing a timeline of visceral indentations of the emotional journey of healing. We create artwork to cope with the fear of uncertainty. From these monumental moments, a catalog of collections is born, channeling and transforming various emotions into something useful. With time, we let go of situations and relationships that held us hostage, releasing and transmuting that pain as a new creative avenue toward feeling understood, relieved, and valuable. An abstract expression of the heavy moments that would drown us if there was no cup to pour in, our art celebrates the moments of joy and triumph. It is a tactile alternative to self-destruction. It is self-preservation. Pouring ourselves into creating something that can translate that emotion into a tangible experience that can be visualized and felt viscerally is what we dream of as the ultimate solution to the condition of being human.
