Rob Carter<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Richmond, Virginia, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STATEMENT OF ARTIST PRACTICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As societies have evolved, so have our relationships and demands on the natural world, whether inside our homes or globally. My interest lies in making multidisciplinary artworks which address the reciprocal stories of human corruption and reliance on plants and our shared environment. The way farming and urban development has ordered the world and how it continues to shape us fascinates, humbles, and alarms me in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My installations, time-lapse, and photographic works analyze historical developments in botany, plant science, plant consciousness, and how we consistently underestimate plants\u2019 predominance and influence over humanity. Concurrently, my use of stop-motion animation allows me to represent the past, present, and future of landscapes and architecture. These works simulate paths of habitat change and deconstruct cultural and corporate practices such as tourism and industrial engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARTIST BIO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
