We are proud to promote participation and achievement in culture and arts by showcasing the creativity, skill and talent of WA artists and arts organisations who tell WA’s unique stories.
The department aims to grow and sustain thriving culture, arts and creative industries in Western Australia, contributing to the prosperity and diversity of the WA economy.
We support a sustainable arts and cultural sector that facilitates social and economic wellbeing by providing research, policy, information and support.
Erin takes aspects of the ecology of the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan) as her starting point.
“The transference of matter into and out of the river and subsequent impact on estuarine ecology informs my new artwork.
“A key component of this project has been my collaboration with composer Stuart James and percussionist Louise Devenish, who are using my sculptural works as musical instruments to devise a new song cycle.”
The solo exhibition by Erin is a part of her Tilt residency at Heathcote Cultural Precinct in late 2020.
