Carlie Trosclair is inspired by historic floating houses, fluke prints, and ever changing dunescapes, Trosclair explores longing and transience in her upcoming solo show, drifter. Historically she creates ghostlike latex casts of architectural structures, exploring the temporality of home and its relationship to the surrounding living landscape. Focused on creating site responsive works informed by Cape Cod, she immediately gravitated to the lore of the Long Point Floaters, historic dune shacks, and the holdfasts of a variety of marine life.Themes of ephemerality, transience, and adaptability began to surface. By splicing and fusing a variety of moldmaking processes, drifter, lives on the threshold where water meets land. Hollow household ephemera morph into nautical rope, the imprint of a dune shack hovers between presence and absence, and shell debris shapeshifts into home relics.
