Carl uses everything he can get his hands on to make his artwork. He paints, constructs sculpture and tableaux out of found wood and garbage, and has a silver smithing studio where he crafts elaborate jewelry. When we visited his house/studio outside of Santa Fe, he was attempting to model skulls out of dough he found in a dumpster. He is a collector and maker of things through and through, and besides the shelters he has made on his property, he also built the ‘little house’ at Violette’s place. Much of his imagery is inspired by the ceremonies of his Pueblo neighbors.
