Ceramic Fungi Sculpture by Tika Robinson - Fungi Feastival

Tika Robinson's unique ceramic fungus sculptural works capture the links between decay and regeneration that fungi produce. They explore the effect that different clay, glaze and inks create in the works. Tika Robinson grew up on a cattle and truffle farm in rural NSW. She attended UNSW Art and Design, completing a Fine Arts degree with Honours. She is currently exploring ceramic fungus sculptural works with an ink element. Tika explores the contrast that can be created and discovered with diametrically opposing ideas. Through her work she studies ideas such as life and death, and decay and growth, exploring the decay to regenerative process that fungi produce. TIka looks at the contrast of humans and nature delving into the depths of the natural ecosystems. She studies the ecosystems of mycelia networks that connect multiple organisms and fungi underground. These networks highlight the connection and distribution of the world's regeneration. The event is open during library hours in Bermagui.
