Writing + Art
Erik’s literary and artistic practice is an interdisciplinary and collaborative one, often combining art forms in contexts outside of galleries or printed/digital text:
- poetry written to guide walks
- text sampled into drawings and maps
- dialogue generated through performance
In 2015, Erik created Future Cartographic, a playground for writing and collaboration, and a home for imagining utopias beyond our time.
Erik is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) with a concentration in Writing and Performativity. He holds a BA in Liberal Studies from Temple University in Philadelphia.
