“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.” (Rumi)
Hi! I’m Erin Kuhn, an interdisciplinary mixed media artist. My early childhood experiences fostered a deep reverence for fine arts. I made my own looms, crushed pigments and made my own paint in a mortar. I would wade in the shallow end of our pool soaking reeds while my mother made baskets. My entire life I have wanted to learn about tools and techniques and create artwork.
Art became a bridge from my inner world to this world, through which I can translate my thoughts and ideas and share the images I dream of. It is also a bridge from this world into me, where I filter my experiences and reflect.
In high school I spent years at Parsons, lugging a portfolio the size of a train seat through the city. Galleries and museums were my sacred spaces. I swooned over my favorite sculptors’ pieces and sat in awe beneath massive, emotionally explosive paintings.
I earned my BFA at MICA. I steeped myself in chemicals, moved my body through the light in darkrooms, dodging and burning myself into paper for years. Over the past decade, I have continued to hone my craft, expanding into new media, reveling in art and toiling in my studio every day.
My work layers dark conceptual themes under bright and cheerful palettes. The overarching themes throughout my work are animal symbolism and religious syncretism that forms its own lexicon. Color, allegory and symbolism tie together individual pieces with the overall collection.
