Erin Shirreff was born in British Columbia, Canada, and graduated with a degree in Sculpture from Yale University in 2005. While she trained as a sculptor, her work encompasses a range of forms, including photography and video. She is known for exploring how three-dimensional shapes are perceived in an age dominated by still and moving images on screens.
Dusk Form is an imposing structure that stands 12 feet tall and features hard lines and unexpected angles. As viewers circulate the sculpture, its components expand and flatten, appearing dimensional from one vantage point and like thin planes from another. The sculpture’s shape derives from Shirreff’s memory of a distant object she glimpsed briefly online; the way the sculpture changes as we move around it echoes the ever-evolving nature of memory. The title, Dusk Form, references that transitional time of day when natural light begins to fade and objects lose their definition.
