Artist Statement:
The choice of clay as my
primary medium seems to come
from play in mud, sand and
water in the ponds of the
undeveloped land that
surrounded my childhood home
outside of New York City.
In 2004 I moved from
Washington DC to Yellow
Springs, Ohio which is the
home of Glen Helen, a thousand
acre nature preserve. Glen
Helen, filled with streams,
ravines, limestone
outcroppings and cliffs, is
reminiscent of the woods I
played in as a child. My
childhood play, the numerous
wilderness trips I've made
over the years, and now, time
spent in The Glen, provide
grounding and inspiration for
my work.
In my work, I address our
dependence on the planet for
life. In some of my
sculptures, I pair fired clay,
a material that survives for
millennia, with wood that
decays. I am fascinated by
what is hidden, what is seen,
what changes, and what remains
the same.

Artist Reviews:
Columbus Dispatch review by
Kaizaad Kotwal, July 15, 2007:
"Robrish's figurative
ceramics, glazed to look like
bronze with a greenish patina,
are coupled with driftwood,
creating poignant pieces that
speak poetically to the human
relationship with nature."
"Her lyrical figures,
reclining or standing, match
the curves, nooks and
crannies...
