Get Home Safe

Save the date for Jermaine “jET” Carter’s exhibition, Get Home Safe. In his latest body of work, the interdisciplinary artist and DC Native draws upon the logics of architecture and relics to conjure a visual language of remembrance. 

Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking, jET gathers fragments of personal and collective memories—interlocking them across time through mosaic imagery and tessellated surfaces. Through recursive techniques and imaginative storytelling, Get Home Safe renders continuity and rupture, a rhythmic loop of remembering and forgetting.

Like the everyday benediction from mother to child, from elder to kin, Get Home Safe embodies the enduring wish that, despite all distance and transformation, one always finds one’s way back. 

More details to be announced.
