ERIN IVES uses found objects, charcoal drawings, and organic materials to create artwork that speaks to the earth and our resource as well as having a feminist motif. The work is intuitive, letting the materials help define the narrative and focus the research and writings for each piece. The work leans itself toward ideas of magic in nature and the role that women have played in history drawing from rituals of women in the past that have helped them feel a sense of power in a world where they had none.
