Kashima Robinson is a Baltimore based artist .They studied Ceramics at MICA after graduating from CCBC, where they received their AFA. There is a focus on non-function sculptural ceramic forms. I use the work as a way to highlight things that exist in between one defined form and the next. I’ve made a practice out of interrupting perceptions through creating mosaics like ceramic tiles and containers. It has helped me to document instances of self-discovery and dissolution utilizing ceramic materials as the medium.
