Erin Forsyth’s work investigates the link between cultural and biological diversity. Her recent work has focused keenly on endemic flora and fauna, but an overview of her portfolio since the late 90’s, reveals an interest in counter culture and cultural development. Like many artists whose early development was influenced by graffiti popular and art forms, her work is related to the pop-surrealist movement. But she is also linked to contemporaries involved in the ‘post-graffiti Pacific’ movement - particular to artists practicing in the Pacific, whose work shifts effortlessly from wall to canvas, and reflects the natural and social environments of their residence. You can find examples of Erin’s work on posters, record covers, children’s books, clothing and in magazines.
