About

Erin Woodbrey is a New England-based artist whose body of interdisciplinary work utilizes sculpture, printmaking, photography, and time-based media. Presented, piece by piece, as a study of fabricated and naturally occurring units of space and time, Woodbrey’s gaze wide in scope and is trained on the interrelated qualities of process, time, material, nature, the body, and architecture. Using sometimes insubstantial materials to depict what seems simultaneously indestructible and delicate, Woodbrey explores the tension between permanence and transience, growth and decay. Often involving a dialog on contemporary ecological discourse and new materialisms, Woodbrey’s work asks essential questions about how the functions of objects and space inform, mirror, and tend to the human condition and more broadly, conditions of being.
