Carson Davis Brown

(Los Angeles, CA.) is an artist working in photography, installation, and intervention, examining the ways objects, materials, and visual systems shape collective memory. His work plays with framing—both literal and conceptual—reconfiguring commercial ephemera, childhood artifacts, and architectural elements to explore the narratives embedded in mass-produced culture.

Through processes of repetition, layering, and distortion, Brown questions how histories are constructed and reinforced. His work draws from vernacular architecture, retail display logic, and personal memory, incorporating found imagery, archival aesthetics, and sculptural collage. Familiar objects are transformed through reassembly and modification, revealing the ideological structures beneath them. His practice balances humor and critique, using subtle subversions of designed environments to highlight the mechanisms of influence at play.

Brown’s work has been featured in The Guardian, Juxtapoz, Fast Company, LA Times, GQ Magazine, National Public Radio, Slate, and Issue Magazine, among others. He was awarded the VSCO Artist Initiative grant for New American Quilts and has exhibited nationally and internationally.
