Erin Shirreff works across, around, and against traditional medium divisions. Her photographs, sculptures, and videos yield perceptual challenges that reward close, in-person looking. This exhibition focuses on her material investigations of the last decade, which explore the inherent gaps and overlaps found between two- and three-dimensional representation. Like a game of telephone, Shirreff’s shifts of form reveal the creative possibilities of mistranslation.
