Description
The work of Carrie Reichardt is often strident and bold. The artist uses her craft skills to produce beautiful creations that invariably have a strong message. The artist often deploys found objects and existing imagery to champion ideas such as social justice and opportunity for all, as well as to hold authority to account.
In its radical permanence, Carrie Reichardt’s work has a temporality that stands in contrast to the ephemerality of other forms of urban contemporary art. Drawing on her skills in ceramics and printing, Reichardt has pioneered an influential new aesthetic – which she describes as a form of “ceramic collage.” In addition to exhibiting internationally Carrie was Artist-in-Residence at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in 2018.
