Lyn Carter's work combines intricate textile surfaces with sculptural forms and this publication documents two works exhibited in two different locations: Columna, originally presented the 3rd Guangzhou, China Triennial in 2008; and Beacon, created especially for this exhibition. Carter’s works hover between sculpture and abstract painting. The shapes themselves become both positive and negative, opening up larger play of space, colour, texture and illusion. While they are material bodies themselves, the works animate the space around them, prompting the viewer to question their perception. Since 1986, Carter has exhibited extensively across Canada at institutions such as the Textile Museum of Canada and The Power Plant.
