This project is a display of the constant filtering and meditative process of considering doom scenarios – both a search to find solid ground in an unfettered world and the realization that such a goal is absurd. At once a joyful embrace of our shared psychic burden of this reality and a search to make any sense of it, this series teeters between the tragic and comic, the miraculous and absurd, the internal world of our thoughts and feelings and our increasingly dubious shared belief in a reality at odds with our empirical observations of world.

Erin Lucey's work investigates the tragic and comic aspects of existence in an age beset by crises (imagined and real) more than any other time. Drawing inspiration from the everyday beauty of the quotidian, Erin's practice is firmly situated in observational practices with abstract, elemental qualities. Growing up in Colorado, a beautiful expanse of natural landscapes clipped with mass shootings, contrarian and coexisting realities became a natural mould into which her practice was formed. She relies on the experimentation and playfulness of process and iteration to uncover meaning in her works.
