Optic Nerve
Erin Bird is pleased to invite you to experience her latest virtual exhibition, Optic Nerve. Featuring five new waterprints, this series is a seamless fusion of photography and painting, showcasing Bird's innovative approach to materiality and process.
In Optic Nerve, Bird explores the fluidity of memory—its constant flux, and how it shapes our perception of time. The works immerse us in vibrant, flowing forms, evoking a sense of movement and transformation. They traverse a landscape where past experiences intertwine with future hopes and anxieties, creating a space that is both familiar and elusive.
The rhythmic, liquid forms invite viewers to reflect on the transient nature of memory while also emphasizing its inherent fragility and intangibility. Through her waterprints, Bird invites us to engage with the ephemeral, transforming moments into visual expressions that challenge our understanding of permanence.
