Erin Coppin

Erin Coppin is a visual artist and writer. After focusing on poetry for several years, in 2023 she began to branch out into writing visual poetry and collaborating with audio and video artists. This was the unexpected gateway to a new direction in the visual arts, especially textile arts.

Working beyond text alone has allowed her to explore communication that evades language. Her work is often focused on the texture and dimensionality of textile art that is not easily co-opted by digital media.

Her studio is based in Cambridgeshire, UK.

"There’s something irresistible about abstract art. Its ability to bypass logic and speak straight to the senses is what captivates us most. In textile form, abstraction becomes even more powerful. It’s not only seen, but also felt. Texture, colour, rhythm and space all combine to create artworks that are as much about emotion as they are about materials. It’s art that invites you to pause, look closer, and lose yourself in the unexpected."
