ERIKA SHIBA
My practice consists of printmaking and drawing. I create a psychological universe, which I like to call a “mentalscape,” through my etchings and graphite drawings. The work I make exists as documents of discovery in this space. I also enjoy suggesting logic, then contradicting it. I use geometric forms to signify balance and stability and then pair them with structures that defy the laws of architecture. These are often convoluted and operate as meta- phors for cognition.
