Artist Bio

Fran Carter is a Wellington based maker. She gained her BAppA majoring in Contemporary Jewellery from Whitireia NZ and went on to complete her Graduate diploma under a scholarship from the NZ Federation of Graduate Women, and was awarded a residency with Toi Pōneke Arts Centre which culminated with a major solo show in 2015, MOOP (Matter Out Of Place). A noted highlight in her emerging career was the invitation to take part in Wunderrūma, an iconic touring exhibition curated by Karl Fritsch & Warwick Freeman. Since that time, Fran has continued to build on her arts career and small business practice, exhibiting her work both nationally and abroad. Fran often works intuitively, responding to the emotive musings and observations of the world around her. She is frequently drawn to explore the untapped potential in found objects with a strong interest in material transformation.
