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 or toys. Her sculpture is ambiguous, though aims to pick up on - and visually start to unpick - trends in art, fashion, and particular moments pop culture, mapping the direct impact aesthetic shifts in contemporary culture have on visual artists. She makes work to inhabit a space, to twist and curl around it playfully, ‘serious play' being intrinsic to Eason’s practice. She uses nostalgia as a tool, with gentle humour.
