Looping Toward Elsewhere

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. Available exclusively at Galerie Züger Santa Fe. Click here to inquire.
