About the Artist

Erin MacAirt is an artist and printmaker living in West Wales
She creates Art that blurs the line between visible and invisible worlds. Using traditional mediums like etching, lino printing and oil painting, Erin explores our relationship with the space in between, where the calendar of time is a spiral.

'My name is Erin MacAirt. I graduated way back in 2002 with a BA in Fashion at Middlesex Uni, London that turned into Fine Art with art placement in the community. I have been printmaking in a professional sense for about 17 years.'

'My current work is a direct response to our relationship with technology and how these different worlds overlap with other worlds, both visible and invisible.

As if looking from a future perspective, I am curious to capture this moment in time. We dive into the internet on a daily basis entranced within a two dimensional reality where time warps and vision is tunneled. The images comment on our hopes and fears of the black mirror, of an AI takeover but also of the wonderful technomantic potential, expanding ways of communicating and connecting globally. These images invite the viewer to consider entering consciously into the dimension of the internet.

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.'
