Erin Hallyburton is an artist and researcher who lives and works in Naarm Melbourne. Her sculptural practice engages with fat studies and intersectional theory in order to examine the conceptual and material limits of the body, and how these limits manifest in certain sites. Edible and transforming materials enact ongoing processes with the gallery space, unsettling assumptions that objects and bodies are coherent, discrete, and autonomous, and questioning whether there are solid tangible boundaries that separate a body from its surroundings.
Hallyburton has exhibited her work across Australia and is currently completing her Master of Fine Art candidature at Monash University. Recent exhibitions include I wanna be your anti-mirror, La Trobe Institute, 2024; An obscuring of self - a veil between yours and theirs, Bundoora Homestead, 2024; and And This Time the Well Is Alive, Gertrude Contemporary, 2024.
