Amber Robles-Gordon (born 1977) is an American mixed media visual artist. She was born in Puerto Rico and resides in Washington, D.C.. Robles-Gordon's work utilizes textile and collage techniques as a primary aesthetic language. Her work encompasses assemblages, large-scale sculptures, installations, and public art. Within her pieces, she uses found objects as sources of color and texture, contemplating the symbolic resonance of each color’s photonic wavelength. Every defining visual characteristic of a material or object—its shape, pattern, or text—contributes to a metaphorical, layered interrogational practice, through which she enacts societal critique. The objects themselves, though discarded or given away, permanently retain the energy of their past.
