Erin Hallyburton lives and works in Naarm (Melbourne). Her sculptural practice engages with fat studies and intersectional theory in order to examine the conceptual and material limits of the body, and how these limits manifest in certain sites. Edible and transforming materials enact ongoingprocesses with the gallery space, unsettling assumptions that objects and bodies are coherent,discrete, and autonomous, and questioning whether there are solid tangible boundaries that separate a body from its surroundings.

Hallyburton completed her MFA candidature at Monash University in 2024, culminating in her solo exhibition Hold me as I Spill Over at MADA gallery (2024). Recent group exhibitions include Entire Days in the Trees, Hair ARI (2024), And This Time the Well Is Alive, Gertrude Contemporary (2024), I wanna be your anti-mirror, Latrobe Art Institute (2024), An Oscuring of Self – A Veil Between Yours and Theirs, Bundoora Homestead Art Centre (2024).

In 2022, Hallyburton participated in the Hatched National Graduate Exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and was the recipient of the prestigious Schenberg Art Fellowship.
