Originally from Winnipeg, Erica Eyres is a Glasgow-based visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, installation, and video. Rooted in a deliberately awkward and absurd aesthetic, her work explores how identity is shaped by social constructs—particularly those tied to womanhood, domesticity, heterosexuality, and the everyday.

Although she has lived in Glasgow for the past twenty years, the influence of her Canadian upbringing remains central to her practice. Drawing on the visual language of 1980s and 90s ephemera—from childhood memorabilia to pop-cultural references—Eyres revisits the materials that shaped her early sense of self. These fragments are reimagined through a meticulous and uncanny lens, rendering the familiar strangely lifeless, theatrical, or surreal.
