Lives in Atlanta, GA, USA

Artist Erin Jane Nelson’s practice is grounded in photography sourced from her personal archive of found and original images. She works serially, with each project delving into new conceptual frameworks, from cultural anxiety around climate change to the sentience of octopuses, or the science fiction of our present moment. Her photographic elements merge onto unexpected support structures, their multiple references engaging the nuanced anxiety, conflict, and humor of the present and immediate future. Along with ceramics, found textiles and collaged photographs typical of earlier bodies of work, Nelson incorporates natural dyeing techniques that fix her works with the colors and ghosts of plants and insects. She represents a cohort of young artists based outside of New York who are increasingly speaking at the intersection of art, craft, climate, and belief.

The exhibition is comprised of quilts, flocked aluminum prints, animal cages, ceramic sculptures, a rotary rock tumbler, and other ready-mades. The works in this exhibition span a year long project spent describing the conditions of Nelson’s civic body in the Bay Area and the various affectations (political, aesthetic, etc) those conditions have produced. Borrowing from the visual language of street photography, many of images in the show were made on her commute to work in downtown San Francisco. An essay by Nick Irvin accompanies the exhibition.
