Aurora Robson is a Hudson Valley-based visual artist known predominantly for her innovative, meditative work intercepting the plastic waste stream. Born in Canada, Robson grew up in Hawaii, then lived in New York City, where she studied metal welding at Apex Technical School, earning her New York State metal welding certification, and then completed a double major in art history and visual art at Columbia University.
For over twenty years, Robson has been developing techniques for sculpting with plastic debris, including fastening, weaving, sewing, threading, ultrasonic and injection welding, and 3-D Printing. A recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Grant, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture, a TED/Lincoln Re-Imagine Prize, and a National Endowment for the Arts Art Work Grant, Robson is also the founding artist of Project Vortex, an international collective of artists, designers, and architects innovating with plastic debris.
