Lucas Carter (Liana Culbertson) is a multi-media artist and designer from rural Pennsylvania. She currently works and lives in New York City specializing in mixed media sculpture and video.

Since childhood, I have always contemplated the way people interact with the substance that makes up interior life; things that are private, authentic, and vulnerable. This fixation manifests in my work through subject matter like domestic space, children, water/wetness, the female body and small animals.  Through primarily figurative sculpture, I study our curiosity towards the interiority of others, our desire to share and protect our own– to safely witness and be witnessed, and how dynamics of power, commodification and consumption shape these inclinations.
