For nearly five
decades, Nanette Carter (b. 1954) has made art that reflects the
world around her. Using the language of abstraction–line, shape,
color, pattern, and texture–she speaks to issues that burden
contemporary society. Examine the artist’s fascination with the
tension between instability and equilibrium in this upcoming
exhibition.
