Erin Morrison (b. 1985, Little Rock, AR) studied painting and sculpture at Memphis College of Art and UCLA, where she received her MFA in 2014. Her work is informed by issues of Social Justice, Reproductive Rights, and the implications of the expansion of Western Colonialism on global relations. Often spanning the languages of abstraction and representationalism, she embraces analog methods of production including gypsum cast bas-relief, printmaking and ceramics as a means of bringing in the viewer to have a physical dialog with the intricacies of her work.
