Working as a self-titled ‘craftivist’, Carrie Reichardt (UK) is an outspoken, politically charged and ceramic slinging artist. Leaving a trail of poetry and prose in her wake, Reichardt employs the techniques of a muralist, but the tools of a mosaic artist, screen printing her own tiles to use rather than paint. Having been involved in community and public art projects for decades, her intricate work sings songs of solidarity and activism.
Seen here is one of Reichardt’s stand out pieces for Nuart 2017, a quote from the American historian, playwright, philosopher and socialist thinker, Howard Zinn.
