In Half-Lit Rooms: Rae Birch Carter

Rae Birch Carter

'In this new series, I have used the unpredictability of monotype printing to suggest fleeting scenes with a sense of impermanence. A glimpsed flash of something happening that the viewer stands outside of. A mirror or a screen that separates..

I’m interested in the pressures, the voyeuristic pleasures, and the isolation that often come along with the contemporary world. The aspirational images that bombard us and that we ourselves create. ..Watching a party that we aren’t invited to, therapy confessions, messy relationships playing out, as we watch on in half-lit rooms.

These large prints, are part of a new and continuing series, developing on from my ‘Dinner Party Guests’ series shown at 155a Gallery in 2024.

I work instinctively, creating an image on the printing plate, then disrupting it. Letting the image evolve through the marks that appear and disappear, and just using my instincts to decide when to put it through the printing press. Embracing and steering the accidental, but always finding myself drawn back to certain motifs and themes that play out within these constructed frames.'
