More About Erin Currier

What compels my artistic practice is the desire to convey that which I have found to be true in all of the countries I have traveled to: that our commonalities as human beings far outweigh our differences. The bond between brothers, the love between mother and child, the kinship shared through creative endeavors; these run like threads in the great fabric of generations. 

 The reasons behind my use of recycled material are multilayered. First, artists have always used materials close-at-hand; I use what is most readily available to my era—waste from our globalized consumer culture.

Secondly, my use of trash is a spiritual practice in the sense that it is re-transfigured into something of beauty.

Finally, using post-consumer waste is a socio-political act: it is a form of recycling that expresses our interconnectedness as human beings—in what we value, share, consume, and cast away.
