Carson Teal Blends Stained Glass, Collage, and Mixed Media into Narrative Objects

Canadian multidisciplinary artist Carson Teal creates works that combine stained glass, collage, mixed media, and animation-adjacent techniques. His practice centers on light, memory, transformation, and layered hand-built forms, often straddling craft and contemporary design. Teal's pieces resemble colorful reliquaries with translucent surfaces, symbolic forms, and assembled fragments that incorporate light as a compositional element. Recent collaborations include lamps and sculptural objects made with other artists, positioning his work between fine art, design, and functional objects. The overall aesthetic is mystical, tactile, and quietly ceremonial.
