Influenced by observations of nature, combined with interests in the constructed environment and consumer society, Carrie Dickason’s experimental works explore the experience of looking, as well as reflecting upon how ideas and thought patterns affect emotional and physical well-being.
The installation includes layers of new works made primarily of cut paper and spray paint. Dickason develops patterns and systems using familiar materials ranging from tape and plastic packaging, to automotive leather and foam. The work has developed from choosing to trust in the unknown- taking risks in the studio: employing the process of working subtractively, rather than additively; using new materials, rather than post-consumer materials; embracing the unfamiliar with the belief that new answers lie within.
