In the Drink

Iann An & Erika Holm

07.06.25 — 28.06.25

Opening Friday 6 June 5:30 pm

In the Drink is a collaborative installation by Iann An and Erika Holm that transforms the gallery into a liminal chamber—part bathroom, part waiting room, part confessional. At once clinical and carnal, the space is charged with a tension between exposure and concealment, where the body becomes both subject and residue.

Erika Holm is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Her work explores desire, the feminised excess of ornamentation, and objects as vessels of memory. With a background in furniture-making, she incorporates wood and metal, as well as bodily matter into her sculptures. Holm has worked at Apartmento Contemporary Furniture and is currently a workshop technician at AUT. Her work has been shown at Grace and Michael Lett, with a forthcoming exhibition at Ivan Anthony later this year.

Iann An is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Her installation-based sculptures explore impermanence, transgression, and the unstable terrain of the body. Shaped by a childhood of migration and her experience as a caregiver, An’s work resists ideals of perfection, turning instead toward decay, fragmentation, and vulnerability as sites of radical possibility. She completed a Master of Fine Arts at Whitecliffe College in 2023, and has exhibited at The Dowse and Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery. New work will be presented at Treadler in the coming months.
