JC Carlie is a mixed media artist located in Los Angeles, California and Beaver Creek, Colorado. Their work centers queer eco-futurism entangled with material science and critical studies. They explore the fluidity and parallels between water, body, and environmental collapse due to human impact. Investigating destruction, attempted repair, healing and alternative ways of being. Their research based practice is informed by the climate crisis, biomaterials science, embodied experience, and environmental activism. Expanding on the lineages of deconstruction art, assemblage, Trompe-l’oeil, and speculative futurism.
