Charlie Carter
I have been a maker, project manager and lead artist of creative projects in the public realm where I specialised in creating site-specific sculpture and interventions in streetscapes and the development of community events; I have made work for streets, roundabouts, schools, hospitals, libraries and churches and worked closely with commissioners in all of these places to make art that created atmosphere and a sense of place. A meaningful engagement with the locality and community formed an integral part of my research and design development process from which the physical results evolved as a logical outcome. I continue to be interested in the challenge of engaging communities with my art but, being released from the necessity to earn a living from commissions, I am free to explore my own ideas. Doing this across a language barrier adds a new challenge.
