Carolyn Menzies often incorporates unusual and diverse materials and conveys a poetic fascination with processes of transformation.

Although her materials are diverse and at times unusual, the constant that runs through her work is a fascination with the processes of transformation. Her current practice is best described with a simple Venn diagram. Drawing one circle to represent the world of modern art and the other circle to represent the sphere of domestic labour has allowed her to create an imagined space where they might intersect. Born in New Zealand, Carolyn studied sculpture at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts and completed her MA at Central Saint Martins, London, in 2001. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
