Cast your net
2024
Cast Your Net by Erin Bird draws on themes of trust, risk, and the expansive nature of opportunity. Created using her signature Waterprints technique, this piece reflects the artist’s exploration of letting go and casting out into the unknown, whether in pursuit of dreams, knowledge, or personal growth. The net, a recurring symbol of gathering and connecting, is metaphorically cast across the canvas, intertwining vivid colors and fluid forms, evoking both the search and the reward.
The abstract composition of Cast Your Net suggests a moment of release—an act of faith in what lies beyond the visible. Through spontaneous, flowing textures and layers of waterborne pigment, Bird captures the tension between control and surrender. The intricate patterns and transparent layers represent the interconnectedness of our actions, revealing that what we send out into the world returns in unexpected ways.
The title references an invitation to engage with life’s uncertainties, to step beyond comfort zones, and embrace possibility. In this work, Bird’s fluidity of form and interplay of light create a sense of depth and openness, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own experiences of reaching out, taking risks, and discovering new pathways.
