Erin Vincent’s aggregate, sculptural forms typically evidence a visible and repetitive labour. This trait of repetition is echoed in her material choices, as like objects are used in profusion to forge unexpected and intricate dimensional textures. Where uniformity and abundance are characteristic of the mass-produced items of utility she chooses — stir sticks, straight pins, twist ties, buttons — these qualities are both suspended and exploited in the work to transform as organic and active objects. Vincent’s innovations to form combine recognition and strangeness in equal measure, enacting perceptual shifts that quiver as persistently familiar, yet foreign.
