These screenprints are explorations in medium, color, and story. They draw visual elements together to construct a narrative composition. There are 8 distinct layers requiring fine attention to detail in order to produce multiples for an edition of seven, and a varied edition (a unique print) using the same elements in a different color scheme. The main edition is titled “The Smell of Lightning” and the varied edition is “The Desert Inversed”.
- ”The Smell of Lightning” 2022 edition of seven.
- Varied Edition 1/1 “The Desert Inversed” 2022.
About Me
Hello, my name is Karla Erasmus and I’m an industrial designer currently practicing in Vancouver BC, located on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in May 2023.

Scope of Work
Over the past few years I’ve become familiar with a variety of materials and process and types of design. I’ve worked with wood, textiles, and metal as my primary materials but I love to explore unfamiliar materials. In addition to traditional design (furniture and product) I’m also interested in jewelery design as well as engaging in speculative and critical design.
