Erin Sullivan makes functional sculpture encoded with the spirit of nature. She aims to honor nature’s intelligence and beauty while exemplifying its primal elegance. Each object amplifies the essence of the plant, animal, or element that inspired it. Together, her pieces construct a symbolic language which reconnects us to the mystery of the natural world.
Sullivan’s archetypal repertoire occupies the space between art and design. Themes of life and death, matter and spirit, masculine and feminine weave a mythopoetic narrative. With the art of ceremony at the center of her work, tables become altars, stools are totems, and mirrors can be portals. At a recent residency, Portal de Luz in Uruguay, Erin constructed a site-specific installation, “The Unified Field,” a nature temple of ritual space with natural and cast ceremonial objects.
Her process includes mold making, wax sculpting, and lost-wax casting. Since 2014, her work has been exhibited and collected worldwide.
