About the Artist
Erin MacAirt is an artist and printmaker living in West Wales.
Her work blurs the line between visible and invisible worlds — the places where time spirals, thresholds thin, and the ordinary becomes something more.
She works with traditional mediums: etching, lino, and oil.
Tactile, analogue, defiantly handmade.
Erin has been printmaking professionally for around 17 years. Graduating in 2002 from Middlesex University, what began as a fashion degree became fine art, then community-based creative work — and finally a deep, long apprenticeship with ink, blade, and plate.
Her current work explores our relationship with technology:
how we disappear daily into the two-dimensional glow;
how it distorts time;
how it opens strange new possibilities.
Her linocuts act as both protest and offering — raw, inky reminders of the body, the hand, the real.
A counterpoint to the weightless, frictionless flow of digital and AI-generated worlds.
I love the anarchic process of linocut technique and its ability to express an idea with clarity and simplicity; raw, inky, analogue…a huge contrast, perhaps even a protest to digital and AI Art. This series of prints echo the tradition of the black and white monochrome linocuts used to express highly charged, challenging, political and artistic expression.'
