Eason’s work makes observations of current and historical popular culture through the medium of sculpture. Her practice embraces a hand-crafted output, hinting at her early abstracted memories of domestic objects. Her sculpture is ambiguous, though aims to pick up on - and visually start to unpick - trends in art, fashion, and particular moments of pop culture. Her work also aims to map the direct impact of aesthetic shifts in contemporary culture, and the influence this has on visual artists. She makes work to inhabit a space, to twist and curl around it playfully, serious play and gentle humour being intrinsic to her practice.
