“Erica is an artist, designer with an extensive working background within the fashion industry,” a statement says. “She has adapted her wealth of knowledge into producing an array of stitched, moulded and assembled pieces. Initially influenced by garment design and their construction processes, she now utilises similar principles as well as adapted 3D technologies to produce much of her new work.”
