Caitlin Erskine-Smith

Born in Toronto, Caitlin Erskine-Smith has studied art and design in Europe, South America and at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Building on these experiences of intercultural dialogue and divergence, she is particularly interested in the use of the spoken and written word and the way in which intended and communicated meaning can be estranged. Focusing in textiles, her work incorporates traditional techniques to consider modern conflicts of identity, language, and change. She has exhibited in numerous juried exhibitions including Unity and Diversity, at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale, Korea, at Nuit Blanche and Luminato in Toronto, and at Nocturne, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
