Beer can, porcelain, resine, sterling, velvet, silk, cord
For the last six years Carlson’s jewellery has been exploring the function of the body, its proper language and position in society. Her narrative is about attitude towards adornment, non-gender, ageing, Covid impact.
Her practice focuses now on research about recycling/upcycling and reviving ancient techniques to promote craftsmanship.
Beatrice Carlson is an interdisciplinary artist with a French fashion design background.
Arrived in New Zealand in 2004 and after 10 years of corporate apparel design in New Zealand & Australia, she decides to focus exclusively on her art practice in 2015.
Carlson favours Perspex as her medium in visual art and printmaking. It is versatile and the least non-toxic material.
10 times finalist of the World of WearableArt Awards (2010-2019), her Awards winning garment in Perspex and Harakeke is part of WOW private collection.
Since 2018, Beatrice Carlson creates one off pieces, handmade in her Devonport jewellery studio.
