Bio
Carlin Flores specializes in mixed media sculptures inspired by science fiction and world building. Using a diverse arsenal of materials such as textiles, fiber, resin, silicone, expanding foams, and cosmetic-grade pigments, Carlin produces surreal sculptures, dubbed Chimeras, that are as beautiful as they are disturbing. Carlin’s process is driven by biomorphic form and experimental textures as she balances the agency and narrative the Chimeras embody.
Born and raised in Texas, Carlin received both her BA and MFA from the University of Texas at Dallas. She finds inspiration in nature, speculative fiction, and pop culture.
