Dust to Diamonds

Erika Katherine's newest collection of work explores the idea of time as pressure. Through intentionality, time itself feeds us, grows us, and makes us the creative beings we are. Diamonds are formed under pressure, eventually they form from deep within the Earth’s surface. From nothingness, a beautiful stone is formed.

Erika Katherine is a multimedia visual artist based in Canton, Ohio. Inspired by her love for fantasy, dark art, and surrealism, Erika has created a whimsical aesthetic in her work—featuring the cute, the creepy, and the strange. She creates character sculptures and surreal worlds from found objects that were once considered trash, polymer/paper clays, and epoxy resin.

This collection of work is free spirited, organic, and energized. Erika Katherine has been an artist at The HUB Art Factory for over five years, recently painted a new mural in Louisville’s Umbrella Alley, and has created personalized artwork for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.

Dust to Diamonds, new works by Erika Katherine, features work that has been molded by time. Scavenging through her studio at The HUB, collecting pieces and parts, trinkets, found objects, and adding in a combination of resin and polymer clays. Erika Katherine works to transform it all into something new and beautiful.

Created from nothingness; fantastical creatures, perhaps a dragon egg or two, and an abundance of magic, this exhibition aims to incite wonder.
