Split Decision
2021
-
Split Decision connects two distinct energies within a single frame, establishing a dialogue between
restraint and exuberance. One side leans toward contemplation, while the other pulses with
vibrant, intricate forms. Each composition shifts between intimacy and expansiveness, echoing
the rhythms of thought and emotion. Color acts as a guide, balancing movement and drawing
cohesion from contrast. Carter explores how minimalism and ornamentation, or stillness and
vitality, can coexist, amplifying the other.
