Chris Erskine
Always trying something new with any available material, Chris Erskine transforms tiny scraps into fantastic assemblages. Although she lives in Michigan, her work seems to have a Southwestern flare: tiny shrines, pins, & ornaments crafted with meticulous detail. A big fan of recycling, Chris often embellishes tin cans or cigar boxes with found objects to honor not only religious figures, but cultural heroes as well. Her metal work is often intricately decorated with tiny dots of solder. She says a turning point in her artistic life came the day she purchased a soldering iron and “went to work on a sardine can.” Recently Chris has taken up painting, and we are happy to share her new work.
