Carried By Wonder features two figures presented as gifts, wrapped and proffered by trios that buttress them. Women and wolves in alternating order ring around them, traveling a track in the shape of an infinity symbol. The track recalls the design and logic of toy trains, from small models to the blow-molded plastic sets which might similarly be circled apparently without end. A ring of ‘bottle dancers’ (inspired by those made famous in the 1971 film adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof) stretch into the distance. A Victorian house in a perfect palette appears at upper left above a violin and bow. Perhaps a happy end with a soaring crescendo, or at least a familiar tune and a good enough place to rest for a time? But what if it’s a haunted house, with strings screeching? True to gothic traditions or an expanded, literary definition of romance, this scene allows one to read for both sweet and sinister plots. In its ambiguity, it encourages us to see and experience the indeterminacy that intertwines them. In Narrett’s work, threads pile up and narratives twist and turn. What we see depends very much upon the reader, whoever dare cross the threshold to linger and look closer.
