ANN ROBINSON
Ann Robinson’s inclusion in the New Zealand Expo Pavilion in Seville (1991), established her reputation as a leading exponent of cast glass, nationally and internationally.
Robinson’s commitment to cast glass developed following her graduation from Elam in 1980. Frustrated with blown glass processes, her tutor suggested she try casting. Robinson experimented with bronze and by 1990 was successfully casting with Gaffer (lead crystal) glass. Her luminous, sculptural pieces are valued for their aesthetics and iconography, referencing New Zealand’s native bush and geology (pounama and paua).
