Erica Eyres School Play Year 2023 Medium Pencil on paper Dimensions 29.7 x 21 cm About the work Through videos, drawings, paintings, and sculptures, Erica Eyres’ work uses found images and narratives to explore the unreliability of autobiography and the artist’s subjective truth. School Play is part of a recent series of drawings based on images taken from school yearbooks. The awkwardness of the two figures is emphasized by the line drawing, while their faces are rendered with more detail to portray their features and expressions. In the background, the play’s set implies a domestic setting, but one that is constructed by the use of fabric to allude to a fictional space.
