Erin Sexton (b. 1982) is a Canadian artist and radio amateur based in a dome in the forest near Oslo. Her sculptures and installations involve found objects, hidden forces, sci-fi narratives, everyday materials, and MacGyver-esque techniques. She holds a MFA in Contemporary Art from the Bergen Art Academy and a BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Concordia University in Montreal. Psychedelic and emancipatory, her work explores alternate paradigms, strange topologies, soft apocalyptics, and metaphysical technologies. She tries to dissolve boundaries and subvert hierarchies, often using absurdist humour as a tactic.
Sexton’s collaborative practice is focused on community empowerment and developing creative resistance strategies. In these times of global uprising against colonial power structures and exploitative resource extraction, helping to shift narratives and mobilize in solidarity are essential.
