Originally from Lawrence, Kansas, Wyatt Carson (Royal College of Art MA '25) works in stop-motion animation, printmaking, painting and poetry. Carson's art practice embraces experimentation, curiosity, and imperfection, and takes inspiration from 1970’s Soviet animation, American folk art, and German expressionism.
Various exhibitions and festivals have included Carson’s work, most notably the Annecy Festival in France, and the John Ruskin Prize in London (Kate Mason Prize For Innovation).
Entities such as shadows, cars, nature, weather, and Mary (their cat) variously enact Carson's explorations of mental health, beauty, family, gender, and love. Carson's work is dedicated to finding the emotional roots of the things that catch their eye.
