Kind Words

"For 20 years, Erica -- through images of the human body, has attempted

to portray the human encounter with transcendence:

art's experience of both transcendence and of being alive."

- Shirley Stockdil

"Stark but seductive metaphorical paintings of anonymous solitary figures

moving through ambiguous light-filled ethereal spaces"

- Jack Anderson, Regina Leader Post

"The meaning of body travels across assorted materials

like paper, graphite, beeswax, clay, steel and lead"

- Bryne McLaughlin, Fast Forward

Canadian ART

"Exploring the body as site of meaning and using material as metaphor locate

the crux of my recent work. Materials carry meaning. Thus simple elements --

paper, graphite, beeswax, clay, steel and lead (ranging between precious,

fragile and toxic) bear meaning equally with the figure. Each peace contains

with it four elements -- that of limits, physical weight,

immanence and transcendence.
