In 2018 Robertson Continued his exploration of various philosophical themes in his art with 'It's Alive'. The exhibition at the Book Club, Shoreditch, London, explored questions of what it is to be human, what it is to be a conscious being and to what extent everything is ‘alive’. Philosophical ideas touched on included Panpsychism and Secular animism.

In 2016 Robertson produced a collection of pencil drawings and mixed media called 'The Explorer's Chronicle', launching at the Red Gallery in London, before traveling to the Refuge in Manchester.
