A Problem of State by Frank Robinson

On View :: Sat. Sep. 13th, 2025 – Sat. Oct. 25th, 2025

A Problem of State represents one chapter within the larger Denim Diet collection. It reflects on the current condition of the fashion industry, its workforce and the political climate that shapes it. The collection examines consumerism through the use of dead stock selvedge denim sourced from Vidalia Mills in Vidalia, Louisiana a once vital American denim producer that closed in late 2024. By working with these remaining materials the project captures a moment of transition, loss and reflection within the industry.
