Carrie Mason (b. 1971, UK) is a visual artist and recent graduate of the Arts University Bournemouth, completing a BA (Hons) Fine Art (1st Class) in 2016 and MA Fine Art (Distinction) in 2017.
Carrie combines systematic mark making with an experimental approach to using materials in a predominantly drawing-based practice. Her process is labour intensive, often beginning with making her own drawing materials, including making charcoal from locally collected wood, making inks and handmade papers; or through repetitive processes with drawings such as Breaking Down, 2016, taking 110 hours of burning to complete.
The materials are transformed through these processes into something unrecognisable from its original form, or even as a drawing.
