The reason I make art is because I have always been uncomfortable in reality; it just doesn’t all sit in a nice sequential order for me. I have a questioning mind, and the more I play, poke and ponder with the veil of reality the more problems seem to arise.

I believe everyone struggles in some manner with the metaphysical question of: Where are we? Why are we? Who are we? And what are we when we are not anymore? That is why I present work to the public. Don’t get me wrong I don’t believe I have any profound answers, but I think people take solace that there is someone else struggling with the big questions.

Carl has shown extensively throughout Melbourne’s artist run spaces, commercial galleries and festivals with 22 shows in the last few years.
