Patrick Carr entered the art world at around age six drawing spaceships and log cabins. This early work was largely ignored except by his parents but he persisted and eventually moved on to more nonrepresentational imagery using, at different times, oils, acrylics, ink, wax and pastel. There was a period during the ’80s when he took up sculpture and produced several—mostly figurative—deep relief sculptures carved in wood—generally sycamore—an underrated wood usually wasted in the crafting of butcher blocks and pallets.
