Erin Tjin A Ton is a Dutch artist who got her BFA at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Armsterdam 2009 and graduated cum laude from the research master Artistic Research at the University of Armsterdam 2011. She defines herself as a conceptual artist that works with a variety of media, such as ceramics, texttile, photography, moving images and simple pen and paper. In her work the medium follows the concept. In order to create her works she often co-operates with different techinicians and artists.

For her work Erin carved five different fish in wood together with her Chinese friend and artist Lixiau Fange and printed these in black on papers that are hanged in the gallery. First there are a few fish, then they swim towards each other and slowly meet, until there are too many of them to space themselves out on the paper.

Within the works she made for the exhibition at Pantocrator Gallery she opposes different questions that raised to her during her stay such as "What is it decides whether something is valuable or not?", "When we appreciate art, do we appreciate its maker, material or context or is this a combination?" "In the context of Chinese contemporary art, does it matther whether the artist actually makes the works him/herself or not?", "Do fish actually bring luck?" "How does the use of certain materials in art reflect a certain culture?"
