Erin Burrows’ painting practice explores the instability of childhood memory and how personal identity is shaped through processes of remembering, fragmentation, and reinterpretation. Working from family photographs, personal archives, and remembered spaces, she uses painting as a way of returning to the past not as a fixed record, but as something fluid, subjective, and constantly shifting. Her work considers how memory changes over time, how certain moments remain clear and emotionally charged while others become fragmented, distorted, or lost, and how painting can help rebuild these traces into new ways of understanding experience and self.
