CARLIN FLORES
Carlin Flores specializes in mixed media sculptures inspired by science fiction and world building. Using a diverse arsenal of materials such as textiles, fiber, resin, silicone, expanding foams, and cosmetic-grade pigments, Carlin produces surreal sculptures, dubbed chimeras, that are as beautiful as they are disturbing. Carlin’s process is driven by biomorphic form and experimental textures as she balances the agency and narrative the chimeras embody. Through layers of tension between materiality, form, and experience, the chimeras prompt viewers to ask their own questions about themselves and the worlds they inhabit together. Reminiscent of Lynda Benglis’ experiments with foam and Judy Pfaff’s tactile explosions of color, Carlin’s sculptures capture the eye with their iridescence and absurdity.
Born and raised in Texas, Carlin received both her BA and MFA from the University of Texas at Dallas. In her spare time, Carlin enjoys baking, video games, and weightlifting.
