Nadene Carr graduated from Manukau School of Visual Arts in 2009 with a BVA majoring in Jewellery.
Nadene says her work "is ongoing interrogation of the dynamic relationship between the beautiful and ugly. The space between the points of beauty and ugly is more interesting to me than the destination at either end of the binary. I am particularly interested in pushing the aesthetic elements of what constitutes the beautiful and the ugly and investigating the provocative and challenging concepts that arise: Concepts of culture, gender, age, taste and appropriation. A playful balance and equilibrium arrive through material interrogations of the relationship between opposing forces." Nadene Carr
