From Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery:

"Robert Milnes was also featured in an online exhibition with PDNB in 2020. His upcoming solo show will feature work he has created this past year. Robert’s inspiration for this body of work was kindled on his 2021 trip to the Yucatan peninsula. He found pieces of dead coral on the beach which had an organic, modular form that intrigued him.

With this, Robert engaged with the Austrian philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, incorporating his seven propositions, sometimes using those propositions as titles to his ceramic sculptures. Wittgenstein discusses language as a picture. But, philosophy aside, these ceramic works are wondrous objects to behold.

Robert Milnes has exhibited extensively in group and solo exhibitions throughout his career, including Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, PA, Northwest Craft Center, Seattle, WA, Arizona State University, Ceramics Research Center, Tempe, AZ, Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans, LA, and Erie Art Museum, Erie, PA.

He is Dean Emeritus of the College of Visual Arts and Design at University of North Texas, in Denton, Texas. Robert Milnes currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina, working in his Arbitrary Forms Studio."
