Sean Carroll

Sean Carroll makes things that are natural. It is impossible to make things that are not natural as that is the base state of all matter. We are not distinct or separate from these processes.

Sean makes things that look like oil, water, air and other things that flow with little effort. But he makes them stop. And then start again. Through his practice things go through a process of rebirth. They fall away from their source, are captured and then put through an almost clinical industrial process where they themselves emerge as pristine surrogates - a clone of the thing.

They almost remember their source and seem to attempt pushing out from their own surface but they are locked - an industrial fossil. A history, a state and a future defined through us. We become the working memory of the liquid; moving, ducking, peeking, stepping back, looking through. You cannot be still within the confines of the neon frames, they keep you moving in the memory of the thing cloned.
