I

n "Reduce Me To Who I Am," Carter orchestrates an intimate dialogue with himself, simultaneously spurring analogous introspection within viewers. This exhibition probes the distinctiveness of various personae within the self, leveraging the intensity of this discourse to interrogate the prevailing dogmas impacting accessibility and affordability within the contemporary art landscape. This body of work delves into the metamorphosis of identity, exploring the multifaceted layers of self that coalesce as a consequence of lived experience. Textural depth and dimensional complexity serve as the cornerstones of Carter’s artistic praxis, manifesting through a diverse array of media.

Redefining the concept of the multi-hyphenate, Carter recounts a life poised between dualities.He exists in a perpetual state of liminality, just beyond the reach of congenial consensus,comfort, or conformity. It is within this interstitial space that the exhibition resides. Carter invitesthe audience to contemplate the elements of their being that merits preservation or purgation, while asserting that what once was will always be, even in its absence. In imploring to be reduced only to his essential self, he posits that these two metaphorical extremes—who he is and who he aspires to become—are ultimately synonymous and require equal reverence and respect.
