MFA Candidate Luka Carter is featured in the Flywheel window display at the Lyndon House Arts Center from now until April 10. Flywheel is a window display at the Lyndon House Arts Center that captures snapshots of energy and objects suspended in place. Flywheel combines small works featuring a colorful mixture of different dimensions, colors, and mediums juxtaposed and layered. The artist composes sketches, studies, and found objects into a realized mood board of the different facets of his life that keep him moving and inspired.
Carter will also present an artist talk on March 18 at 6 pm. Find more about his exhibition.
Luka Carter (b. 1990, Los Angeles) is an interdisciplinary artist who lived on a boat for three years in Rockaway Beach, NY, a trailer in Bolinas, CA and plenty of places in between. The friends and community that he finds in each of these places has allowed for a strong, beautiful network of friendship and artistic collaboration, similar to what futurists might call tentacularity - “about life lived along lines, not at points, not in spheres”. With a background in construction and manual labor, Luka has a knack for making space for art in overlooked or interstitial spaces–– including an outhouse, abandoned lot, and a van. His practice spans zines, furniture, tattoos, ceramics, clothing, and installations.
