Carly Slade

Carly Slade grew up in “Big Sky” Alberta, Canada. Her work is influenced by her blue-collar roots and plagued by a concern for the precarious nature of the working class. Using a mix of materials (most often including clay, embroidery, and building supplies), Slade creates dioramas of real places in an unreal perspective. Most importantly, Carly is the keeper of two orange cats: Opal and Oscar, collectively known as THE Oranges.
