Erin shares:

“As an artist deeply engaged in the practice of weaving with natural fibres, my work serves as a tapestry intertwining various facets of my life and identity. Weaving is not merely a craft for me, but a reflection of my intrinsic values and my profound connection to nature. This art form embodies my appreciation for the intricate interdependence and interconnectedness that exist within the natural world and within ourselves. My garden, a living canvas, further deepens this relationship, teaching me lessons of growth, resilience, and harmony. Through this beautifully reciprocal relationship, I am continually informed and inspired, allowing me to evolve both as an artist and as a person. In my practice, I find a space where personal values, artistic expression, and a reverence for nature coalesce, guiding me on a path of perpetual learning and discovery.”
