Carin Mincemoyer

Carin Mincemoyer’s work ponders the ways in which humans try to embrace, struggle to control, yearn for, reject, and alter the natural environment.

Her creative practice encompasses sculpture, installation, public art, and design in diverse materials including wood, metal, discarded packaging, and live plants. Mining the visual evidence of humans’ efforts to contend with the seeming chaos of nature, she employs the engineered forms of scaffolding and bridges, the image of the underappreciated dandelion, a weather icon meant as shorthand for the complexity of a thunderstorm.

These works offer opportunities for heightened perception of our daily predicament, our constant navigation between civilization and wildness.
