The pieces are the work of Tasmanian artist Robert Ikin, who has used a number of different materials and canvas' to address the abstractness of humanness.

Materials used range from ceramics to woods, the painted and sculpted into fascinating configurations.

Ikin said his featured artworks highlight the work and depth of media that can be used in art.

"These are essentially two dimensional but you can look into it," he said.

"Quite often when you're working with objects the objects themselves lead into the subject in a sense but also the thing that I enjoy playing around with is posing questions to the viewer."

His favourite work, Language, features a number of ceramic creations forming an ancient dialect of sorts.

"I see it like a hieroglyph, you can read it up or down," Ikin said.

"It's just there and a question unto itself and art should do that.

"Being open to interpretation is what makes it strong, for me anyway.

"The things that I collect are my stories so the language is in there."

Robert Ikin's work will be on display at Black Cow Bistro until May 28.
