Dor's Big Aura

Susan Carr is a painter and sculptor who lives and works in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She employs ideas and motifs found in cartoons to create her ceramic sculptures which are a stand-in for feelings and desires -- both personal and political. Carr has found cartoons to be an effective and meaningful way of expressing complex, nuanced concepts and attitudes. She hopes her pieces challenge the viewer's assumptions and perspectives, sparking conversation around love, desire, memory and hope. Each piece is imbued with feeling and whimsy that test the viewer's ideas about art, creativity and the challenge of embodying happiness..
