CAROLINE CARY
1940. Born in the Blitz. London.
My work has always been moving towards a more abstract pictorial style whilst all the time drawing and painting from life.
I love experimenting and am constantly trying to push the work on exploring new possibilities. Recently I have been painting on glass and perspex which starts to give a three dimensional feel; this has lead me to starting to work with video and light, moving away from the flat picture plain and illusory depth and wanting to create colour fields with light, laser light and 3-D video projections.
I am working on ideas for abstract as well as image based audio/visual interactive installations that you could move around in. (Caroline Cary).
