Pandora’s Box Limited Edition Prints

The Limited Edition Print

Pandora’s Box Limited Edition Prints by Robin Rivers are numbered, signed archival prints from the original mixed-media collage. I created this piece using my original photography that has not been digitally altered, acrylic medium and gold. Only ten (10) prints will be made available.

The prints measures 12×12″ and  I will ship this piece flat to ensure no creasing occurs.  Please note that colours and contrast vary between different monitors.  The colours of the print may not match your monitor’s display exactly. Additionally, copyright of my artwork does not transfer with purchase.

The Inspiration for Pandora’s Box by Robin Rivers

The gardens of my neighbourhood in Vancouver are amongst some of the most vibrant in the city. On long morning walks, I take my camera to capture bits and pieces, exquisite light, and unique perspectives. This piece came from neighbourhood architectural elements and the stunning Iris flower to create a soft primal scream that takes rage and gives it a new life. I drew on the ancient myth of Pandora’s Box as a way to explore the complexity of femininity and the lies told of woman as the origin of sin. Yet, the box even in the ancient story, held all of our hope. 

The Artist

Robin Rivers is a multidisciplinary storyteller. She explores cultural memory keeping and technologies of circulation—how stories and images travel between people and across generations. Her practice folds writing and original photography into my mixed-media collage process. She examines how documented archives and personal interpretation shape our shared understanding of the past and how preservation itself is shaped by power, privilege, and historical upheaval. Robin creates all pieces at Studio Albertine in Vancouver, Canada—on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. This includes the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
