« My practice is underpinned by an interest in displacement, particularly with objects and how this can create multiple associations. »
Tim Carson is a prize-winning sculptor based in the United Kingdom whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. Inspired by his childhood spent the Herefordshire countryside, he was fascinated by discarded machinery and old abandoned buildings. Drawn to the air of limbo surrounding these objects, which Carson now brings into his current compositions, exploring themes relating to displacement.
