Erin Hallyburton

Erin Hallyburton is an artist based in Naarm (Melbourne). Her sculptural practice engages with fat studies and intersectional theory to examine how the conceptual and material limits of the body are produced and negotiated in specific sites. Working with transforming substances, Hallyburton stages processes of decay and seepage within the gallery space, unsettling assumptions that objects and bodies are coherent, discrete, and autonomous.
Hallyburton is a current studio resident at Gertrude Contemporary. She has exhibited at galleries across Australia including Gertrude Contemporary, Firstdraft, Latrobe Art Institute, Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, Lilac City Studios and Blindside. In 2022, Hallyburton participated in the Hatched National Graduate Exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and received the prestigious Schenberg Art Fellowship.
