‘As day turned to night, there was you’ explores themes of self and queer identity, community, chosen family and perseverance. Using block work and abstraction, Carl illustrates this narrative without the use of figurative imagery. With only colour and materiality to connect the viewer to the piece, he invites the audience to intuitively translate the work to their own experience. Materials that are ingrained in the collective psyche, leather and wood envelop you with a feeling of comfort, tactility, the desire to move toward the work and touch it. The healing power of colour and texture combined.
