Star Gaze 2

Quiet Places is a new body of work by Hannah Carrick that explores fleeting emotional states through landscape, where perception, memory, and atmosphere remain in constant flux. The paintings reflect on the instability of experience — how light, time, and sensation continually alter the way the world is seen, remembered, and felt. Rather than depicting fixed locations or singular moments, Carrick’s works inhabit spaces of transition, moving between intimacy and distance, presence and disappearance. Through layered processes of making, obscuring, and revealing, forms gradually emerge and dissolve across the surface of the paintings, mirroring the shifting nature of memory and emotional perception. What remains is not narrative resolution, but atmosphere: quiet, suspended, and subtly unsettled. In Quiet Places, Carrick creates landscapes that feel both deeply internal and transient, holding moments of recognition just beneath the surface before they slip away again.
