In this, his first solo exhibition - Sêula, Old High German meaning soul - Eric explores the metaphysical elements that we might find if we could see deeply into another. Eric takes the dreamlike glimpses he uncovers and threads them back into a reality where the viewer is invited to explore the monsters and angels that walk invisibly amongst us.
Expanding on the heavy-handed interpretation of the work explored in his works of abandonment and loss, Eric juxtaposes his black and white environments against vivid colours of his candid subjects in an attempt to share his experience of what would we see if we could see into another’s soul.
