THRESHOLD 

By Miranda Carter

A threshold is the point at which a physiological or psychological effect begins to happen. 

The paintings in this exhibition attempt to visualise the points at which day becomes night and earth becomes air.  “I am particularly drawn to the ‘glow’ of the twilight hours and the space where land meets the sky.”

A threshold can also be at the point of awakening similar to that felt in a state of creative flow or the feeling of awareness that unfolds when immersed in nature.

“My approach is more instinctive and poetic than observational. I attempt to create the feeling of space, light and atmosphere in my studio.  I encourage controlled ‘accidental’ marks and gestures using layered paints, inks and glowing pastels. I guide them to mimic feathered clouds, misty horizons, and the tracks and pathways etched into the landscape.”

“What you feel in front of my paintings is as important to me as what you see.”

Miranda has exhibited widely and is represented by galleries across the country. She has many collectors and works with the interiors company Neptune, selling prints of her work in stores and online. 

Open Evening: Saturday 9 March 6-8pm
