CURATOR'S STATEMENT

Long time  Santa Cruz resident and artist, Glenn Carter,

has been actively pursuing his mixed media work for decades.

        His interest in process and materials is evident upon the first encounter.

 But what is more appealing to the eye is his highly imaginative

 and creative approach with these materials.

The subtlety of atmosphere achieved by his layering process transcends his

 use of hard industrial materials. This atmosphere combines beautifully with form

 and space creating an ambiguous, or mysterious, landscape reference.

His work can only be fully appreciated in person and with ample time to allow for the imagery to resonate.
