Robinson works in sculpture and installation art, using textiles and costuming techniques to produce her sculptures.[3] She makes animal figures from scratch, using flywire, fabrics and other materials.[4] Sex and death are major themes of her work[5] and she draws her inspiration from folklore, mythology and the occult.[6]
Her artwork, Beatrice, featured in the 2020 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art and exhibited at the Museum of Economic Botany,[7] is inspired by Scylla from Homer's The Odyssey and Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, "Rappacini’s Daughter".[8]
