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 function as 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.
