IMMERSION prints & plates

Acts of memory and contemplation inspired by Haussmann balconies created following a family trip to Paris. Prints made on the press at Mosesian Center for the Arts. Mandala plates created in collaboration with Pondside Pottery at Andem Art Studios.

CYCLES OF THOUGHT

etchings:

By fusing two prints together (different versions of the same plate), I image the sensation of moving in, out, and around conscious & unconscious states of mind in my interactions and relationships. Recalling that thin line of separation between the two, between two people drawn into communion and what makes us whole people.

Mandalas

Mandala Tx makes visible a space for becoming whole through the therapeutic practice of creating "sacred circles." These mandalas offer insight, integrate joyful & difficult feelings and act as a healing mirror in the moment for both artist and viewer. Beginning in the center, imagery and color choice develop organically into abstracted, natural and symbolic forms that reveal feelings. Erin's embedded free-association words illuminate personal insights as a woman, daughter, mother, wife, healer and artist trying to reconcile her various and sometimes opposing roles and needs.
