Asha Robertson

biography

Asha Robertson grew up on Salt Spring Island, to parents of artists. She has a BFA from Alberta College of Art and Design, Sculpture. Asha predated this with four year mentorship with ceramic sculptor Kathy Venter and a year at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago.

In her recent work, Robertson uses ceramic, wood, encaustic, and acrylic to create two and three dimensional multi-media objects some of which appear to be excavated from the landscape. With this work, Robertson explores themes of collective memory, time travel, human impact on the land and nature’s ability to reclaim with time.

artist statement


Asha Robertson's practice explores both the two and three-dimensional. Her paintings are landscape derived exploring texture and medium referring back to her sculptural training. Robertson has an interdisciplinary approach to her sculpture. Her approach is thematic in that she produces small series that resolve a particular concern.
