Christopher Carter

Christopher Carter is a Miami-based sculptor whose work transforms reclaimed materials into powerful meditations on identity, memory, and cultural inheritance. Born in Albuquerque and raised in Boston, Carter draws from his African American, Native American, and European ancestry to create assemblages that explore the layered histories embedded in the objects and structures around us.  Working primarily with found wood, metal, rope, glass, and industrial remnants, Carter builds large-scale sculptures, installations, and architectural interventions that feel both ancient and futuristic. His practice embraces the material afterlives of discarded objects—salvaging fragments of the urban, the domestic, and the industrial—and recomposing them into forms that evoke ritual, resilience, and survival. Each work carries the weight of transformation: what was once overlooked becomes a vessel of lineage, movement, and lived experience.
