Q & A artist

How did you begin working with photography?

My dad was always building me and my sisters the most creative and elaborate things throughout our childhood. The one that always stuck out was the indoor treehouse that took over my sisters entire room. He paper mached the outside so it looked like a real tree. They could sleep up top, and even had a bucket with a pulley system so they could transfer things to the top of the tree from below. That’s just one thing of MANY. He was the coolest dad.

CARRIE MINIKEL I THIS

THIS

The Hill Street Country Club presents recent works

by Carrie Minikel

What does this experience offer to your artistic career?

This opportunity allowed me to work on a larger scale than I normally do, and take a risk using unfamiliar methods.

THIS will be An Exhibition focus on Carrie Minikel’s acceptance of mortality.

What inspires your work?

I’m fascinated by how we aren’t our bodies but our bodies are ours. How they are expressions of us, tools, a medium through which we experience the world and often a large part of our identities. We are also trapped in them and increasingly limited by them as we age. As I watch my daughter grow, and my parents age, I am increasingly aware of my own mortality - it is becoming a palpable presence. This piece is about sitting with the solidity and gravity of that in a physical form, and on some level, accepting it. This truth we share in common is a great perpective-giver. It is larger than me, too big and unwieldy for me to control and somehow beautiful.
