Biography
Sean Carroll is a Melbourne-based artist. After working as curator and director of Backwoods Gallery, he moved into public art production and fabrication before returning to his own studio practice.
Artist Statement
Sean Carroll makes works that reconstruct observed optical phenomena. Using resin, pigment and light, he creates materially fixed surfaces that remain optically unstable, complicating the distinction between what appears synthetic and what is observed.
