An Ohio native, Carlson (1950 - ) studied at the Art Students' League in New York City, the Cleveland Institute of Art, and Alfred University. He has wide experience with various glassmaking techniques, but the work for which he is best known combines laminated polished glass set into regularly shaped granite units joined to form rectilinear abstract sculptures.
