Tony Carter
I am a still-life artist of an unconventional kind, inasmuch as I work mostly in three dimensions. Objects fascinate me consistently, if unpredictably, not because they stimulate the urge to possess but because of their capacity to reflect aspects of our sensory and psychological condition. I think we are, in part, both what we see and the way we see, the relationship between human subject and perceived object is so complex as to dispel any idea of innocence - of observer or observed.
I like to think that the art objects I make in some way confirm the mystery we are to ourselves and expose in a challenging way some of the vagaries that inform our sense of reality.
