Carter Shocket is a trans and queer interdisciplinary artist from North Carolina living and working in Brooklyn, New York.
In Carter’s work, he researches queer and trans theory and expresses his findings in woven sculpture, tapestry, and installation. He’s interested in how transness breaks what we think is fixed, and what can form in the openings of those breaks. He suggests what can form is the trans supernatural- something beyond our current reality, like the collapse of time, a re-understanding of ghosts, or a society restructured around communal care.
