Erin Harmon is a Professor of Art and Art History at Rhodes College, where she holds the prestigious James F. Ruffin Chair of Art. Based in the Tennessee Delta, she maintains an active studio practice while teaching courses ranging from Intro Drawing to Advanced Studio Art and Senior Thesis. Her work has been exhibited nationally in both group and solo exhibitions at venues including Field Projects in New York, LAUNCH Gallery in Los Angeles, and the Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis. MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design (2003) Certificate in Reflective Collegiate Teaching from Brown University (2003) BA in Studio Art from San Diego State University (2001) Harmon's creative practice exists at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and installation art. Her work deliberately occupies the twilight zone between real and unreal, object and place, creating immersive environments that viewers can inhabit both physically and mentally. Influenced by theatrical painting techniques and her previous cut paper collages, she creates architecturally scaled cut paintings and animations that function as sites for events or performances. Her practice explores the tension between flat and three-dimensional space, celebrating the interplay between fantasy and reality while confronting manufactured un-nature. The physical act of making her large-scale works becomes performative, as she literally stands on the canvases during creation. Analysis of Harmon's recent exhibitions reveals a consistent exploration of spatial relationships and material transformation. Her works often incorporate painted muslin cut-outs, ceramic elements, and mixed media constructions that blur boundaries between painting and sculpture, landscape and object. The recurring themes of migration patterns, natural environments, and constructed realities reflect her interest in how humans interact with and transform their surroundings. Her collaborations with other artists and performers demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach that expands traditional notions of painting into theatrical and immersive experiences. James F.
