While Carswell is, in occupation, a graphic designer, she has created a few sculptural pieces. Her 3D art has been primarily textile based, which relates to what I aspire to do. Her two pieces that interest me in particular are the Smoking Jacket and Blurry Eyeglass Tray. The latter is a plate that shows a blurred eye exam, which can be corrected by putting on a pair of special glasses. While not something I see myself ever emulating, as a bespectacled artist, I appreciate it to no end. The other piece falls in line with one of my main artist focuses- pun coupled with alternative clothing. While a smoking jacket usually refers to a comfortable, reclining jacket, Carswell's include a pair of darkening, yellowing lungs that react to the smoke. Both the name and the transparent meaning of the piece encapsulate a lot of what I try to do as well.
