Made in the Barbie Manor Art Studio, "Junk Journal Ft. Junk Jewel" is a physical media scrapbook made between March 2025 and July 2026 full of "junk," otherwise known as receipts, wrappers, cards, brochures, and more in an interactive storytelling assembly. This scrapbook, photo album, and visual journal has thirteen themes, integrated eye-spy games, and a character named Junk Jewel who adds context to the mixed media. The work tells a story of the last year and a half of Carson’s life, framed by other collected media from 2010 onwards.

Made in the Barbie Manor Art Studio, these pieces are acclimations of physical media on paper. "Venus" is an imagined book cover for a self-help book that uses Venus fly traps as imagery for the emotion of feeling trapped, using shades of colour in physical media. "Isotopic Block Game" is a representation of remembered space, that being a depiction of a Minecraft world from an isotopic perspective in collage. "Out of This World" is an attempt to connect all physical media elements on a page together through visual storytelling of time travel. "Mirrored Media" is a representation of my immediate outer world of forced advertisements mailed to my house against my anti-capitalistic attitude.

This completely collapsable 3D Collage Miniatures scene features a sunset desert environment, with billboard advertisements supported by large rocks serving as boulders that guide a drive through the scenic route. The transparency of the magazine paper allows other images to shine through over the horizon to mimic daydreaming during a road trip.

Vegetation Along Green Timbers Trails is an informational nature pamphlet that focuses on the specific vegetation found within the Biogeoclimatic Site Series at Green Timbers Urban Forest Park in Surrey BC. The pamphlet provides multiple perspectives of the space including scientific and indigenous classifications, aerial locations on maps, panoramas of trails, portraits of plants, and microscopic images of what the plants produce. The center column provides context for the rest of the pamphlet through situating the surrounding images on the trail map, and provides information that guides the rest of the reading. The left column zeros into the Huckleberry and Salal nature trails that are each accompanied by 1 portrait, an edited panorama made of 5 photos taken on my Sony A7iii, and 2 microscopic images that were obtained using the Surrey Nature Center Microscope. This column also provides information about the park's Biogeoclimatic Site Series that provides further context for the needs of the species featured on the trails. The right column showcases the Cedar, Hemlock, Birch, and Douglas-fir trails through bugs-eye portraits and 1-2 microscopic images of the corresponding cones, needles, and leaves. This column also touches on the Indigenous Medicine Wheel with a land acknowledgment, and expands upon the medicinal plants in relation to British Columbia and Green Timbers. The information included on the pamphlet was obtained from the Green Timbers Urban Forest Recreation and Access Management Plan, and Green Timbers Heritage Society.

These pieces are decorational displays of images that have been repurposed into a more functional use. "Archived Memories" is a weaved image created from film images Carson personally photographed, processed, and developed in 2022 featuring the eyes of Breaden Williams. "Mind Wind" is an animation of an installation featuring camera obscura images Carson had have taken and developed at the Barbie Manor Art Studio, playing with abstract exposure to light. "Illuminated Images" is a lampshade made of film negatives from images Carson photographed on a Fujifilm Quick Snap Flash disposable camera, that were then sewn together with thread onto the frame of a lamp. 

Made in the Barbie Manor Art Studio, "Unreliable Narrator" is an imagined CD cover where the text is supposed to resemble teeth inside of a mouth to speak to the suggestion of unreliable narration. Made in the Emily Car University Interdiciplinary Studio, "Listen To Me" focuses on audio and musical elements like lyrical concepts and broken vinyl record pieces. A multimedia work, the cover is painted with sculptural aspects, the inside is a mosaic that includes a spiral CD insert featuring blackout poetry of song lyrics. "Remember Me" is a flipbook of Fujifilm Quick Snap Flash disposable camera images and printer scans of objects printed on clear paper. The different layers of images create different composition depending on how it is viewed. 

These pieces experiment with wax as an artistic medium. "Sealed Cross" is a skateboard that has been individually wax stamped 149 times in rainbow order starting from the shape of a cross. "Bookmarked" is from my Holiday Bookmark project from December 2025. "Drip Candle" is a project Carson has been working on since August 2025 where he burns specific candles to achieve a desired drip effect over an elevated candle holder.

The following pieces were made at art workshops hosted at Universities across Metro Vancouver. "Indigenous Artist Brushes" and "Cedar Paper" were made at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2022, during classes led by Indigenous workshop leaders who use natural vegetation to create their own artist tools and materials. Carson hosted a "Queer Event Booth" at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in 2025, making Queer-themed pins that were hand designed and assembled alongside students.

Carson sells prints of most pieces showcased on this site, and offers commissions for custom collages and repurposed images. Please email Carson at carsonaapollo@gmail.com with art inquiries and visit the Commissions & Sales page for more information.
