Sara Carter’s 2025 individual paintings act as a prologue—works that carry the energy of Stories from the Floor and The Floor while beginning to trace something new. Though not formally part of either series, they emerge from the same current of ritual, intuition, and spirit. Created during a year of transition, these pieces reflect a shift from reaching toward the unknown to receiving from it—a period when long-held beliefs began to meet tangible clarity. In Counterweight, Carter balances density with softness, layering pigment in ways that feel both grounded and ethereal. As a group, the 2025 works exist in a state of becoming—paintings as thresholds, holding space for what’s next.
