Geometric abstraction is the framework from which Angela Carter uses form to explore light and darkness. Her work is layered with memories of migration.  Angela uses architectural design elements, creating the feeling of topographic landscapes. She is interested in the idea of building and rebuilding.  Placing different shapes over each other repeatedly in different locations. This allows for the original shape to be a subtle imprint.  While conceptually her artwork is skillfully planned, her process is organic in nature.  

In Angela's early life she was inspired by the Artist in her family.  Now her work is also influenced by artists from a range of disciplines.  Julie Mehretu’s use of architectural design and original land markings serve as inspiration for creating Carter’s Art language. The architect Bjarke Ingles makes the list for his innovative Architectural design.  The music of John Coltrane keeps her aware that rhythm, balance and improvisation make a nice pairing.
