Erin Dickson

Discipline:

Sculptor, Digital Specialist, Producer, Researcher

Location:

South Shields, UK

ABOUT:

Dickson (b. 1987, South Shields) explores ideas of home through language, culture and vernacular architecture. Much of her practice relates to her birthplace in North East England and is
simultaneously a comment on contemporary society and a tongue-in-cheek reference to themes of
‘Britishness’. Working in the space between craft and digital manufacture, Dickson works both
physically and virtually, from processing data to create 3D models to developing systems of correspondence. Through social commentary, personal reflection and humour, her sculpture, video
and installations soften deliberately provocative subject matter including British class systems, AI
bias, intimacy, community, and isolation.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
