Travel

1996

  • Travel explores abstraction as a site of movement, perception, and internal projection. The paintings lean into minimal composition without becoming minimalist—broad divisions of color and darkness suggest horizon lines, atmosphere, and spatial depth. While rooted in modern and conceptual traditions, the surfaces remain organic, dimensional, and emotionally charged.

    Rather than depicting specific places, Travel offers open environments that the viewer can enter. Each work becomes a threshold into imagined terrain—sea, field, sky, distance—formed through suggestion rather than representation. The series sits early in Carter’s professional practice, yet carries forward a visual language developed intuitively long before. These works invite a quiet form of travel: inward, outward, and across the shifting landscape of perception.
