Transference

Robyn Campbell
Artist statement
‘Transference’ is the result of a
collaboration in learning, teaching,
experimentation and play between jo
Victoria and myself.
Jo and I share a fascination with light and
surface and the potential of glass and
porcelain to convey a sense of fragility, the
transient and the ephemeral.
Biography
Robyn Campbell is a Canberra-based
artist who uses ceramics and glass
within her practice. Since Graduating
from the Australian National University
Glass Workshop in 1993, Campbell has
exhibited nationally and internationally,
and has received various awards and
commissions.
In my art practice I’m interested in form
and the spaces and relationships between
forms, often with a sense of enclosure,
containment and protection. I strive to
achieve simplicity, calm and beauty in my
sculptural pieces. In this new work the
intangible elements of light, shadow and
reflection are significant, changing the
pieces as natural light and perspective
shift.
My inspirations continue to be the natural
world and landscape.
Jo’s encouragement over the past months
helped me push forward with new work
and new techniques. I see the final pieces
for ‘Transference’ are a stepping off point
for evolving a fresh body of work using
porcelain and glass.
