Erin Gould, M.F.A.
Assistant Teaching Professor Visual ArtCurriculum Vitae
About
Erin Gould is a multimedia artist and educator working between sculpture, video, printmaking, and performance to investigate relations between human bodies and more-than-human bodies / corporeal presence and tangible absence / capitalist ideologies and quotidian appearances of white supremacy. Much of their work investigates vegetal intelligence and autonomy, connections between extractive ideologies and ecological harm, and colonial conceptions of the gender binary. They have exhibited across the Southwestern United States, have work in public and private collections, and completed residencies at the Sable Project and Vermont Studio Center. Gould received their MFA from the University of New Mexico, and likes to think that the plants in Oregon, Colorado, and New Mexico have been just as formative as their academic education.
