Carson Terry is a blacksmith, welder and sculptor. He studied iron and metalwork at both the Penland School of Arts and Crafts and the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts. Terry currently resides in Portland Oregon. Commonplace objects are tools used to signal gender in ways that reenforce heteronormativity and gender binaries. I attempt to undo these conceptions by renaming and queering domestic forms like forks and plumbing imagery through ironwork and illustration. I further redefine and subvert meaning through making metal smithed versions of practical objects including forks, spoons, combs, flowers and salt and pepper shakers. In recreating common wares to differentiate form and content from expendable consumption Terry aims to construct objects that carry a practical permanence and bring new value to their function.
