ABOUT

Mel Robson is a Ceramic Artist based in Alice Springs, Central Australia. For over 20 years she has been creating functional objects, sculptural works, installation pieces and public art. 

Her exhibition practice centres around ideas of place and identity and the ways in which histories, stories and associations can become embedded in everyday objects. Exploring this relationship between objects and personal narrative, Mel creates evocative and contemporary works that weave together past and present. 

The utilitarian nature of ceramics is what first drew Mel to clay and remains central to her practice. She continues to design and produce ranges of functional objects for use in the home. 

Mel’s work is held in national and international collections and is regularly featured in art and design publications.
