Artistic style and subject


Robinson works in sculpture and installation art, using textiles and costuming techniques to produce her sculptures. She makes animal figures from scratch, using flywire, fabrics and other materials. Sex and death are major themes of her work and she draws her inspiration from folklore, mythology and the occult.
Her artwork, Beatrice, featured in the 2020 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art and exhibited at the Museum of Economic Botany, is inspired by Scylla from Homer's The Odyssey and Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, "Rappacini’s Daughter".
