Artist Talk: Aurora Robson

  • Aurora Robson, whose innovative works made of plastic debris are on view in the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center's exhibition "Human Nature Walk" through February 11, 2024, discusses her artmaking life and career. The recipient of BMAC’s inaugural Award for Service to Art & Humanity, Robson has inspired countless people to not discard their bottle caps—and instead to bring them to BMAC as contributions to the pieces in her exhibition.

  • Born in Toronto and raised in Hawaii, Robson studied art history and visual art at Columbia University. Her sculptures have been exhibited and collected internationally, and she has been awarded grants and fellowships from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York Foundation for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts, among other institutions. After living and working in New York City for two decades, Robson now resides in the Hudson Valley.
