In each piece, Erik Borglin Schiller invites us to wear not just an object, but a story—a narrative of identity.
Erik, an artist whose creations blur the lines between identity, artistry, and functionality, finds his medium in the very fabric of life itself. His journey began amidst the creative crucible of the Rhode Island School of Design, where he honed his skills in Furniture Design, shaping his vision and craftsmanship.
Each piece Erik creates is a testament to the interplay of identity and form. His artistry extends beyond conventional boundaries, melding elements of bent lamination, acrylic welding, riveting, studs, and upholstery into a singular expression. What emerges is not mere fashion accessories, but rather art sculptures that embody a deeper narrative.
Erik Borglin Schiller's art draws from his own family history to challenge us to reconsider the boundaries between the self and the collective, the personal and the universal. Through his sculptures, we are invited to explore the rich complexities of our identities, both unique and shared, as they intersect with the wearable world around us.
