Themes and
style:
Auerbach
draws much of her inspiration from mathematics and physics, she explores the
limits of our structures and systems of logic (linguistic, mathematical,
spatial) and the points at which they break down and open up onto new visual
and poetic possibilities". Her more recent work focuses on abstract
patterns, order and randomness, and multi-dimensional space. She has gained
acclaim for her “fold paintings”, which she first exhibited in 2009.
Techniques:
Her works engage a variety of media, ranging from
painting and photography to book design and musical performance.

In her own words:
“I probably think about higher spatial
dimensions more than any other aspect of my practice. At the root of my
interest is the question of what consciousness is: what it's made of and what
its limitations might be. As creatures that operate in three dimensions, what
capacity do we have to conceive of a dimension that's beyond, or even coiled
within, the space that we experience?”
