Ericka Lopez
Born 1987 in Mexico
Tierra del Sol artist since 2019
Ericka Lopez is blind and creates intricate, tactile work in both textiles and ceramics. Her fiber sculptures are stitched using threads, buttons, beads, fabric scraps, and found objects. Her proficiency with familiar hand-building techniques in clay, including coil and slab, enable Lopez to create large-scale vessels which are distinctive, dynamic, and beautifully structured. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an exploration of touch.
Ericka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition “Continuous Touch” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody, as well as by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.
