Artist Statement
Contemplated as an axis to which inner lives digest, the bed is used as a tableau within this series to explore the turbulent, tranquil, and tantalizing faces of love, life, and solitude. Liberated through the comfort of familiarity, Carly presents metaphoric depictions of various states of being. Envisaged through the cohesion of color, spatial reasoning, light, and symbology, narratives within the series depict a story of stifle, salvation, passion, hostility, and innocence.
