ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Jim Carter likes to tell animal stories through words, sculpture and ritual. Stories about wildland and wildlife and a deeper sense of their mystery, power and vulnerability in relation to humankind. Uneasy or tragic, irrational or obscure, his stories express a real world of suffering and transcendence: making sculpture from organic materials as a means to express advocacy, wonder or commemoration; shifting to the written word as a way to enter emotional and numinous spaces of memory and dream. Carter wants to be honest in negotiating the complex experiences that arise in relation to a time of climate emergency: there is anger, fear and sorrow, but also opportunities for magic, fertility and renewal.

Jim Carter was born in Worcestershire in 1967. He received an MA with distinction in Art and Environment from Falmouth University and an MSc Award in Ecopsychology, Centre For Human Ecology. Carter is a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists, and his work has appeared in About Place Journal, Unpsychology and Earthlines magazine.
