Beach Burrito is proud to be working along side Blender Festival to present the legend: Delly Carr.
Delly Carr will be covering the Captains Quarters with some of his amazing photography showcasing his 10-year quest to deconstruct the world of fairy tales and comic books tales
Artist’s Statement:
While photographing popculture may seem like a light-hearted notion, my body of work evolved from a deeper place. The death of a parent and the grief that blanketed my world led me on a path to revisit happier times, as a child, my life of movies, comic book heroes and pop icons. For 10 years I attempted to deconstruct the world of fairy tales and comic book tales that are part of our childhood and adult culture.
My arrangements are schematic, inviting the viewer into a space of speculation. In awe by the mystery. Seduced by our desire for darkness.
From the beginning the process of transforming the simple notion of popculture to a creative artform struck me as magical. And, over the years, that magical process has had its way with me, leading me from hobby to art.
Popculture is my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass.
Inspired and invigorated by a renewed sense of continuity, this project haas always been grounded in pleasure and aesthetics.
