Lawrence Carroll

Lawrence Carroll's works are metaphors for their gradual process of creation. He builds solid wooden boxes, saws them up and reassembles them, sticks canvases between them, paints them and then sticks them to the wall. The artist sees these works as biographical documents of his own life, and as records of their production process. Looking at the seams and "wounds" of the work, the viewer can trace back Carroll's working methods, creating a personal relationship to the objects and their subtly constructed surfaces.
