Carl Moore

Carl makes work that sits on the fine line between comedy and tragedy with a pinch of the absurd and blended with irony. His long running Animals Pretending to be Other Animals series was inspired by the virtual world where people create their own avatars and identity, gender, class or race are concealed and one can present oneself as excessively or conservatively as the parameters allow. Other series include Dripsters where animals with distinctive markings are reduced down to drips of paint. Robot Dreams, Suicide Animals and The Ice Cream Project are amongst others. His latest work is to take the film icons of Star Wars characters and recreate them using fine arts and craft objects such as Fabergé and Wedgwood pottery.
