This work is included in "New Work: Erin Shirreff", a solo exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art from July 20–November 10, 2019. Working in various mediums, scales, and modes, Erin Shirreff explores our relationship to objects and images, and between two- and three-dimensional space. In this exhibition, her first U.S. solo museum presentation on the West Coast, Shirreff will show a selection of recent sculptures and photographic works. Forms based on JPEGs are rendered in foamboard and bronze, and offset reproductions are enlarged and given a sculptural dimension of their own. Together, the works examine the slippage between the experience of an object in real space and its photographic representation, where scale, weight, and physical presence are distorted.
