Hope Carter is primarily an installation artist.  Her work incorporates a variety of materials such as chain, metal wire, screen, glass, canvas, paper and yarn as well as natural objects like wood, stone and gravel.  These pieces may fill a large gallery space where viewers are invited to walk into an environment of individual sculptural elements that hang from the ceiling or rise from the floor.  These elements may also be adapted to just a few units that are more suitable for smaller, less formal spaces.  Ms. Carter’s work also includes smaller mixed media sculpture, three dimensional wall constructions and shaped canvasses; and she has recently exhibited several series of paper and mixed media collages.

A selection of  Ms. Carter’s recent exhibitions includes: “Dangerous Women Two” and “As Seen by Hand”, both at Mercer County Community College, West Windsor, NJ, “The Raw and the Cooked” at Artworks, Trenton, NJ, and Two Solo exhibitions, “Contemplating the Frail Intensity of Red” and “uncharted shades of mindfulness” at the Phoenix Gallery in New York City. Upcoming exhibitions include a group show at the Clifton Art Center in Clifton, NJ opening in late January, 2010 and a SANJ Group Show.at the Silva Gallery of The Pennington School, Pennington NJ from April 6 to April 29, 2010.

Ms. Carter maintains a Studio in the Sourland Mountains of Hunterdon County, NJ.  Please contact her for an appointment if you would like to see her work.
