Exploring ideas of home through language, culture and vernacular architecture, Erin Dickson’s practice is connected through tongue-in-cheek themes of ‘Britishness’. Working in the space between craft and digital manufacturing, her work often takes place virtually, processing data to create 3D models and developing systems of correspondence. Through humour, Dickson’s practice softens deliberately provocative subject matter including British class systems, AI bias, intimacy, and isolation.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, most notably in Glasstress at the 2015 and 2017 Venice Biennales. Dickson lives and works in the North East.
Erin Dickson was awarded the FACT Together residency in 2021.
