Publications and collections:
‘Carter has a flair for describing solitary walkers seen at dramatic angles from high above, accompanied by long shadows in desolate narrow streets – in the TS Eliot modernist urban-imagery tradition. The best works here are restrained in their use of detail. They avoid busy paint application and fiddly descriptive marks by being manually loose and relaxed, and controlled in spatial alignment via tonal mixing, using an effective earthy palette.’ John Hurrell, Eyecontact, 27th Sept 2016
