The aesthetic and psychological process of creation and free association within the defined space of the canvas remain key to experiencing Parish's work. She layers and imprints memories, recollections and dreams unto each composition allowing her creative impulse the freedom to roam the canvas. In these recent works, Parish continues to explore the myriad layers of simple geometry as they reflect complex humanity. The archetypal circle interspersed throughout the canvas and the reflective surface of her works impels us to contemplate the layers of the painting and the depth of our humanity.
Erin Parish was born in 1966 and grew up in Detroit, Michigan. She currently lives and works in New York City.
