Eric William Carroll’s work on photography, science, and nature explores the differences in how we experience, organize, and represent the world. Through his photographs, installations, and performances, Carroll creates visual and emotional connections that span enormous distances in space and time. As a public scholar Carroll activates archives and collaborates playfully with artists and non-artists alike. At the heart of his practice is a genuine sense of curiosity and humor that questions traditional binary relationships.Carroll’s work has been shown widely and has been included in exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Aperture Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Pier 24 Photography, among others. Carroll has participated in residencies with the MacDowell Colony, Rayko Photo Center and the Blacklock Nature Sanctuary, and was the winner of the 2012 Baum Award for Emerging Photographers. Born and raised in the Midwest, Carroll is currently based in Asheville, North Carolina.
