We are Water, @ Anomalous Gallery Waiheke
At the time of the first European arrivals to Aotearoa, Waiheke was known as Motu-Wai-Heke, “island of trickling waters”.
With an art practice centred on bodies of water, Waiheke as an island has a natural synergy with Carter’s work. As does Gallery Anomalous which means deviating from what is standard normal or expected. Carters show ‘We are Water’ looks to make new connections between bodies of water and our own physical bodies. The origins of human life began in the oceans and our bodies are created in a liquid pool and the molecules in our bodies are 99% water. This highlights our primordial connection to water and why water can heal the mind and body and help you tap into your most calm and creative state of being.
Carters practice displays a curiosity for experimentation and an expressive freedom as she navigates between perspective and perception to create an emotional intimacy through her work. By subverting traditional understandings of light, color and form in spaces of water she seeks to establish new relationships between the viewer and bodies of water.
