(b. 1985 Little Rock, AR)

My work examines the intersections of labor, value, and ornament—how beauty, devotion, and capital intertwine across time. Using processes of casting, gilding, and relief, I transform humble materials such as gypsum and burlap into surfaces that recall architectural ornament, historical currency, and devotional art. My practice bridges the sacred with the everyday: gilded motifs evoke both ancient artifacts and mass-produced trinkets, revealing the tension between authenticity and artifice, labor and luxury. Through these transformations, I reflect on preservation, motherhood, and the quiet politics embedded in making by hand.

Erin Morrison (b. 1985, Little Rock, AR) studied painting and sculpture and printmaking at Memphis College of Art and in 2014 received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles. She has exhibited internationally and curated several events and exhibitions, including Collect For Choice (2022), LAMMAHOUSE (Hong Kong, 2021), and co-founded The Binder of Women (Los Angeles, 2017–2020). Her work has been auctioned at Christie’s Hong Kong and New York, and is held in public and private collections, including Cedars-Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Fidelity Investments, and The Bunker Artspace.
