Shany Erkin was born in 1999 and raised in a town right outside Boston. In 2022 she received her B.F.A. in Photography at Parsons School of Design. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
Emerging from a lens-based background, her practice has grown into a more experimental, mixed-media approach. Using image making as a foundation, she composes carefully and looks intentionally. Regardless of the medium, the subject matter often reflects her interest in human intuition. Spanning from adolescent instinct to ancient humans, and the all-knowing ‘gut’, she examines the innate creativity that can exist in the making process and what that can teach herself. Her making process is investigation into automatic & impulsive choices, inherited traits, and her very own milk-despising gut.
