ERIN MORRIS
B. 1994 Latrobe, PA
Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY

Erin Morris (b. 1994) is an artist and children’s art educator born in Latrobe, PA and raised predominantly in central North Carolina. In Erin’s work there is an intentional tunneling of vision to the peripheries of a scene, eschewing notions of the significant and the insignificant. Her paintings ask: What is the space of time between a wedding and funeral made of? Between a birthday and a car crash? Between a job firing and a breakup? The paintings zoom in and out of these days; days of alternate side parking, days of google docs, days of taking Zoloft, days of a broken phone, days of air conditioning, days of too-polite emails. In Erin’s work, the viewer is made to fixate on the margin of a moment, creating a strangeness and affection that results from over-concentrating on a particularity for a little too long.
