Lorraine Robson makes thought-provoking works that pay homage to ancient and primitive skills, while embracing contemporary influences. In a world dominated by commercialism and technology, she enjoys the meditative nature of allowing the form to evolve with handwork, imagination and human labour, using the most primitive and natural materials available: the earth itself.
While observing ceramic craft traditions the ideas that inform Lorraine Robsons tranquil, sculptural, contemplative works are derived from the natural world and museum artifacts, with underlying ideas of illness, pollution, sacrifice, decay, mutation, war, lost memory, and lost culture.
