Bronze sculptures made by the lost wax method (2020).

Catrin Morschek M.A., about the series "Foldings in Bronze", 2020: "[…] The choice of painting material also plays a not insignificant role, as it is used repeatedly within a series. Although Eriskat experiments and works with a variety of materials, such as colored pencils and black or colored ink primarily on paper, but also with paper, clay and bronze in the sculptural realm, drawing is always recognizable as the basis of her artistic work. All works oscillate equally between representationalism and abstraction. In this way, a very unusual oeuvre of autonomous pictorial works, sculptural objects and installations has emerged."

"Skin and Bones" is the title of a series of recent works by the artist. The works on paper are executed exclusively with india ink and spray paint. Ink in the shade "Slate Gray" or "Leipzig Black" is applied by brush, wooden sticks or wooden fork alternating with the skin-colored spray paint (shade Brain) on white 300 g Hahnemühle watercolor paper. The application is done alternately quickly and intuitively or slowly weighing with the help of stencils, for which, among other things, cattle bones are used.

 Drawing: Ink on Paper.

I startet the series "Südsee" in October 2016. I wanted to have a good time in the Southsea, like Paul Gaugin, but without moving. And I thougt about what I'd like to look at with dipping my feet in warm water. Simple things like coconuts, boats, waves, palm trees, heaven, clouds, single-cell-organisms, ananas and so on.
For this series I used stone paper and coloured ink. This special paper allowed me to to took a lot of ink over a large area without throwing waves. I liked this super smooth surface and the glossy colours.

Groups, collections, rows, movement, heaps, visions, clashes, everything based on paper masks that I cut after reflections on my table. In this series I work with different techniques and papers, with oil chalk, ink, spray bottles
