Erin Dickson

Erin Dickson is a sculptor. She initially studied Architecture at the Architectural Association in London and later went on to complete both her MA and PhD at the University of Sunderland. Dickson’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Glasstress, The National glass centre, The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and FACT in Liverpool. She has received international grants and awards including an Honorary Diploma from the Jutta Cuny Foundation, Germany, and a National Lottery Project Grant from Arts Council England. 

Dickson explores tongue-in-cheek themes of ‘Britishness,’ particularly in relation to her birthplace in North East England. She works in the space between craft and digital manufacture, operating both physically and virtually to develop systems of correspondence. Through humour, her sculptures, videos, and installations deliberately soften provocative subject matter, including British class systems, AI bias, intimacy, community, and isolation.
