Carner
Artist's Statement
More than a graveyard, Carner’s work is a foreign country. Though not unintelligible, what is readily visible appears familiar, but immediately alien, and survival necessitates the development of a new language. A collector of information, by pitting disfigured glyphic symbols against dislocated textual symbols, each of his individual works presents enigmas that, like ghosts, forestall comprehension, but will not be ignored. Information is disintegrated, conflated and re-circulated through his work, ascetically cut with critical imagination and playful satire. By ciphering two or more stolen elements—a word or phrase, a shape or image—into a new image of images to be deciphered, he renders us temporarily illiterate, until we relearn how to read (invent).
