Inspired by the way we are all affected individually by common experiences, Erin Conron’s glass works explore the marks and memories of life that shape our individual identities. Her blown and coldwork glass works are reminiscent of bird nests, with the layers of lines representing the tangle of memories and experiences that form who we are. Each work is created over a period of time, through a series of meticulous steps which unite to result in depth and complexity in the layering of her simple linear pattern. Erin says “the development of my work has been a consideration of the collective and the personal, the interior and the exterior, seeking balance in the combination of elements.”

Erin Conron completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts, with a major in glass, at the Canberra School of Art in 2007 and, in 2008, completed her Honours year. Since graduating, Erin has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Canberrs, Sydney and Germany. In 2008 she was a finalist in the Ranamok Glass Prize and a finalist in the 2009 “Talente” International Design Competition in Munich, Germany.
