Carrie DeCunzo makes performances, compositions, videos, and installations that are personal studies in ways of thinking. She starts at the knots of socioecological narratives and material histories to explore hard contradictions and unanswerable questions. She grew up in the foothills of the Adirondack mountains in New York State and is currently engaged in a multi-piece exploration of ecological and social histories of the Hudson River.

She has performed and released music under the monikers beautywork, Natural Pleasures, and Carrie Ford. She collaborates with Rose Actor-Engel in 500 Club. She has released her music on her self-run, small-scale imprint KSX Solutions, and with No Rent Records, Love is the Law, Sprawl Tapes, and American Damage. She received an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College and studied geography and political ecology at the University of Vermont. She lives in Philadelphia, PA where she teaches piano and voice.
