ROBYN CAMPBELL
Robyn Campbell works in both glass and ceramics. In 1993 she completed her
Bachelor of Arts (visual) majoring in Glass at the Australian National University. Until
2000 Robyn focused on her studio work, exhibited nationally and internationally,
travelled to the USA for a fellowship and to promote her work and completed
several local public art commissions. In 2013 she returned to her practice through
ceramics and is now beginning to use both glass and clay in her sculptural work.
‘Held 2’ is a recent version of a reoccurring theme from the early days of my
artistic practice in the 1990s. The work is an expression of enclosure, containment
and protection. Over time the patterns in an individual artistic practice can start
to emerge. They can perhaps be as much an expression of who the artist is as
the features of their face, the shape of their hands, their fundamental character.
Knowledge of material, skill levels and ideas all evolve overtime, refining the work.
‘Held 2’ does hold within it both the past, the present and perhaps the future
of a continuing theme in many of my art works. What changes is the means of
expression.
