Eri Sawatzky is an LGBTQ+ multidisciplinary artist with a broad range of work consisting of fibre arts, murals, paintings, and soft sculptures with a multi-medium twist. Working without limitations, and with many mediums, is what evolves and inspires their work. The act of creating began as a means of release and has evolved into a desire to express Eri’s obsession with the dream state; their skepticism of what is deemed reality, and the blueberry-eyed wonder of the infinite. By putting their creations out to the world, they hope to also inspire a little bit of intrigue, cause a little inspiration and a few abstract thoughts, and bring calm to the chaos. As much as the unknown can be terrifying, it also brings peace. Eri tries to bring that into every medium they dabble in, with a bit of hope that someone, somewhere, can genuinely find some wonder through it.
