About Erin's work
Erin creates immersive sculptural installations, sculptures, paintings, and drawings as a means to explore ideas of landscape, ephemerality, and movement. She creates built environments and painted worlds that evoke existing and imagined worlds which visitors can move through, creating a sense of connection, calm, and healing using biomorphic or natural imagery. She loves to use new spaces as inspiration for building or redesigning site-specific work which enhances the architecture and sense of place within spaces. The installations are often made with paper, but also are created using plastic, glass, and other light reactive materials.
