Joyce Robins and Visual Memories

Joyce Robins - Pale Color Circle, 2011

Last week I met with my mentor. We visited MoMA PS1 for its current Greater New York show. One artist from that exhibition was Joyce Robins. She makes graceful undulating ceramic forms that I really connected with. I was fascinated by the visual effects she achieved by combining embossed dots with holes and glazed with painted surfaces. Upon further investigation, I learned that her practice is based on visual memories. I also found that her use of color and pattern evolved in part from a series of paintings aiming to capture light flickering through trees.
