About Penumbra Carter
I am a multimedia artist. Working in paint, assemblage, pen & ink, silk screen, cyanotype, film and virtual reality installations and travels, to which I then film ( called machinima, which is the use of real-timecomputer graphics engines to create a cinematic production. ) . My virtual reality avatar name is Penumbra Carter. I have a BA in Studio Art and Art History, I love both creating and reading/studying about art; Art History, Biographies, Gender Studies, to name a few ways of understanding how and why we make art yesterday and today.
You can find most of my Second Life Films on Vimeo and on YouTube, initially I started out downloading only to YouTube, then I moved to Vimeo and I now put them both on. They are not well curated on these sites, yet, I was just thrilled to be able to put machinima out. Here are the links: https://vimeo.com/user3132712

In 2016 I moved from central Wisconsin, USA, to London, UK and recently moved from London to northwest Cumbria, close to the Solway Firth and on the Scottish Border.
I update this webpage at a slower than usual pace. Am always working on something, so putting it on a website eventually happens. I am mostly keeping this site to what I have been doing in the last few years, thanks for visiting.
