ART NEW ZEALAND #160 Summer/2016-2017 (article)
'The space between the elements in Cathy carter's composite image of bathers in Waikiki is random however; study it and see how far each of the swimmers moved between the 2 captures. A serene and contemplative wprk, its themes seep from the wall into the viewer - indolence, indifference to the passing of time, joy at the kind of colour a jellybean world can produce.' Don Abbott

Sophia Schön, 'We Float' 2014.
The gallery was once located in the inner city, an up market high street. It now lives in a gleaming white multiplex apartment building that is more Miami then Auckland. Maybe it’s a sign of the times. It doesn’t matter. Inside it is domestic luxe; white on white with lush tropical orchids and bromeliads. The lounge is punctuated with art, works by Cathy Carter, the first to exhibit in this space with We Float.
Her images are placed in the domestic scene, in the kitchen, above the bench. I don’t know if this should matter. I feel I am elsewhere, overseas, some place so rich in context it’s hard to stay afloat. But all of this is secondary, as the pieces pull me in. Eye watering detail takes me right up close, close enough to see the structure of the print, but in due course the sheer scale and reflections wash me out again. Like the tide I find myself in an ebb and flow, moving around the space between the domestic and the gallery. Cathy Carter’s work aims and succeeds in pulling me under, and gently bringing me back to the surface.
In between the visceral experiences there is more. Time for one quick breath. Works like ‘Blue Refrain 2014’ are infused with suggestions of philosophies and social concerns. But it is a calling from the silent deep where light no longer reaches that intrigues me the most about Cathy’s work. We Float has taken the gallery into the domestic, and with that tip toed the abyss, refusing to make eye contact.
