Rob Wynne is a collector of memories. Keenly aware of his own context and popular culture, the artist uses visual syntax to combine fragments excerpted from conversations, literature, theater, cinema, etc., in works that involve images and, primarily, texts as the main elements – whether in sculptures, installations, collages, digital prints, or embroidery. One of his preferred materials is glass, from which he typically obtains organic forms that he manually spreads. His investigation is also influenced by concepts reminiscent of Fluxus, the 1960s American art movement that used an experimental and multidisciplinary approach to forge connections between everyday life with art, and with which he was intimately related.Rob Wynne is a collector of memories.

He often creates organic forms by manually spreading molten glass. This interest was sparked when a shell-shaped piece of molten glass he was holding slipped from his hands, falling to the floor to create what he later described as a “cosmic explosion.”Rob Wynne é um colecionador de memórias. Muito atento ao seu próprio contexto e à cultura popular, o artista utiliza a sintaxe visual para combinar fragmentos extraídos de conversas, literatura, teatro, cinema etc, em instalações que empregam imagens e, principalmente, textos como elementos principais, seja em esculturas, instalações, colagens ou impressão digital.
Acidentalmente, durante uma visita em uma fundição de vidro, Rob Wynne descobriu seu verdadeiro interesse pelo material, que passou a ser largamente utilizado em sua obra, na qual ele trabalha formas orgânicas, obtidas com o material ainda líquido, que é espalhado por ele manualmente. O interesse se deu quando ele segurava uma concha de vidro derretido, quando escorregou e caiu no chão, formando o que ele considera como uma "explosão cósmica".
