Erin’s photographs tend to feature city streets, shop fronts, sections of seawall and other elements of urbanity that are all depicted as eerily deserted. It’s intriguing how Erin keeps her photographs almost entirely devoid of human figures, and adds an element of conceptual depth to relatively straightforward photograph style.

The shape of the bush strokes seems to be the focus of many of her paintings, which are abstract but seem to take on shapes reminiscent of what one might see in ink blots. Each is made up of bulbous forms of paint that may have been created with a brush, or dropped or pressed onto the surface. Erin’s video works are highly abstract in nature, but she creates meditative, almost soothing experiences using pulsing colour and low, droning sound.
