Looping Toward Elsewhere

Edition

There are the things we carry in our hands…things we carry from one place to another... things we carry because they are useful, beautiful, familiar, or difficult to leave behind…and then, there are the things we carry that cannot be held at all. – Carrie

The gallery becomes a place of arrival and exchange.

This new collection by Carrie Fell plays with the many meanings of carried as remembered objects, stories, history, and inheritance. The works weave together the spirit of historic Southwestern Road trips with their subtle nuances of place, memory, and passage. This exhibition imagines the gallery as a place of arrival and exchange.

This collection invites collectors to slow down and take notice, to look closely at the overlooked fragments that might otherwise pass quietly by. Through her new series, Carrie Fell transforms fragments of memory, texture, color, and Western vernacular into rare, small-scale compositions that feel intimate, collected, and deeply considered. Their scale creates a different kind of encounter: personal enough to live closely with, yet rich enough to reveal something new over time. For collectors, this special series offers an opportunity to acquire works that are both distinctive and limited in their visual language, small pieces carrying a larger story of passage, memory, and the enduring pull of the American West.

No journey west is entirely linear... In "Looping Towards Elsewhere" our cowboy shows us there is a little showmanship in him. Life in the moment, the horseman is going somewhere without moving at all. The rope moves with precision, gathering the attention of whoever happens to be nearby. A café becomes a natural stage for encounters. The rope traces a circle within the larger landscape, and the trick is not simply about catching something. It is about catching someone's attention.

The rope gathers the air, drawing in everything within its reach into the moment.

the carrie fell difference

  • the frame

    Poplar hardwood is milled to our exacting standard 1-3/8” width with an eased edge to maintain a smoother painting surface. The bars are custom fabricated for each piece and assembled to create the perfect frame for the canvas.

  • the canvas

    Carrie uses only top-of-the-line, archival-quality, 15 oz canvas - triple-primed with acid-free titanium gesso to reach a finished weight of 20 oz. More stable and durable than lighter-weight canvases, it supports heavier paint and larger applications with ease and offers an outstanding substrate for almost any medium. Once the poplar frame has been created the premium quality canvas is hand-stretched to ensure a tight wrap and superior smoothness for Carrie’s creations.

  • the authenticity assurance

    Utilizing the newest technology all Carrie Fell originals and editions have a digital certificate of authenticity through Verisart, which is encrypted and stored on the Bitcoin blockchain. The blockchain is a public record, however only accessible to the entity that has the digital key to the certificate. Each blockchain record is tamper-proof which ensures your certificate timestamps are securely and permanently recorded. The combination of security, transparency and anonymity provided by the blockchain enables the certification and verification without the risk of corruption, loss, or expiration - thus protecting your records of
