Erinn Michelle Cox

Erinn M. Cox is an Artistic Research PhD Fellow in Jewellery & Metal Arts in the department of Art & Craft at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Erinn´s research is consumed by three subjective phenomena: jewellery, loneliness, and making. Through her artistic practice, she examines the relationship between the making of jewellery and the experience of loneliness to reveal what loneliness may look and feel like as well as the possibilities for jewellery and/or creative practice to act as a surrogate for intimacy, touch, and/or another human body. Through a maker as researcher heuristic methodology, she aims to bring loneliness to the forefront as an unnamed or concealed expression in jewellery and emphasize its significance as a matter of social and cultural relevance in seeking human connection.

Erinn is a jewellery artist from the United States who holds BFA and MFA degrees in Studio Art (USA) and a MA degree in Jewellery (Estonia). She is an internationally exhibited jeweler, professor, and published writer on contemporary art, jewellery, and philosophy.
