Carter and Co is a stoneware dinnerware line and a store in Saint Helena, California. But it is also a protest. It is a treasure-bearing vessel bringing a town back to its glory. It is an ever-amalgamating ribbon of light with objects that sing their own truths. It is a Butoh dancer. It is a butcher shop. It is clay and fire and salt. It is chemistry. It is a linen napkin. It is a broken sphere, turned on its side. It is me and it is you and it is all the hearts pumping blood that have stepped foot here before us. It is made of starstuff.
