About
Bio
Hi, I'm Angie Robinson
I am fascinated by patterns, textures, colours and tones in almost everything I encounter, especially in nature. I feel a strong connection to the work of Ernst Haeckel, a German biologist, philosopher and illustrator from the early 20th century. I also draw continual inspiration from the organic shapes and amazing colours of the Austrian painter and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Recent explorations involve saggar firing in an electric kiln. Saggars are sealed containers used to encase ceramic pieces during firing. By controlling the atmosphere within the saggar, artists can create various design effects. Organic materials, such as leaves, sawdust, or salts, are often placed within the saggar. As the kiln reaches high temperatures, these materials release smoke and vapor, which can interact with the ceramics. Other additives such as metallic salts, oxides or minerals can be added. These interactions lead to unique surface patterns, including smoky veils, flashes of color, and distinctive markings.
