SeeingSquared

SeeingSquared is me, Carol Campbell.

I love colour and texture and seeing how things work.

I am a Maker to my core – always have been and probably always will be. Making is how I express myself, how I play, and how I work through concepts whether silly, deep, or just plain hard.

I’m a local artist, preferring to participate as a whole person in my physical community “warts and all.” I’m more likely to pop up at a local event than online.

My style is very improvisational, often experimental, both in materials and techniques. I use what I have on hand or what I can gather for free or find at the thrift store. Repurposing is the way I live.

I’m fascinated by detail and by the stories hinted at in the materials I work with. That connection (I call it “personal iconography”) between things and the memories or meanings they evoke, impacts how we feel about our stuff, and how willing we are to replace it.

Highlighting the intrinsic and emotional value in what we already have is a key strategy in my quest to encourage and equip people to consume less.

We have more than enough stuff. Let’s use it better.
