carrie’s recent work includes free-standing and wall-based sculptures made in aqua-resin with embedded, blended pigments and rough applications of oil color. carrie’s work references heightened emotional reactions, freak accidents, and solitary moments—all which occupy a psychological space that is a little undefinable. Often pointy, curvy, and biomorphic, these forms combine fear, curiosity, and exaggeration while expressing a sensitive relationship to gravity.
