Errin is a member of the Special Agent Collage Collective, a global collective of over a hundred collage artists. She also founded a local artist collective, Collage Crew Kalamazoo, with the intention to connect people through collage art. artist statement Collage is my art therapy. It provides me an intuitive process to examine fragments of my personal experience with grief, trauma, and anxiety. I like to work with discarded books and magazines and explore how the materials push the art in unexpected directions. The tactile nature of the handmade process is an important counterbalance to my digital graphic design work. |
