Carly Palmer is a Chicagoland based artist and writer. She primarily works in the artistic mediums of hand-cut paper collage and acrylic hard-edge geometric abstracts. She is a Resident Artist and School of Art Outreach Instructor at Water Street Studios in Batavia. She is a 2021-2023 Jungian Studies Program Cohort Graduate from C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. Her most personally meaningful work as an artist and writer weaves together elements of depth psychology, surrealism, and symbolism. This is the creative trinity where both she and her art feel most alive.
“Liminal Space” features a self-curated collection of hand-cut paper collages, hard-edge geometric paintings, and written word. This body of work evocatively explores the notion of liminal space, and the sense of hovering at the threshold. When crossed, her paper collages personify objects to conjure and convey psychological ideas. Through the use of color, composition, and line in her paintings, she reveals the sharp edge of precision, but leaves the not-so-linear nuanced narrative hidden.
