Charlotte’s practice is an ongoing exploration of the internal landscape, using a symbolic visual language to decipher the inward reflections and conversations that profoundly shape the outward gaze. By delving into the psychic nuances of human experience, the artist aims to capture sensations and moments that are difficult to articulate, rendering them into their most simplistic and reduced forms.
The artist frequently employs motifs such as “portals” or “windows” to suggest a sense of observation or “peering in.” These apertures serve as viewing platforms for the onlooker, creating a sense of separateness and distance. This metaphorical distance allows viewers to engage with the inner world presented, fostering a deeper contemplation of their own internal landscapes.
In the work, the artist experiments with the interplay of ambient hues and bolder colours, contrasting them to create contradictions within the composition. This interplay provokes feelings of tension and sometimes unease, inviting viewers to confront the complexities and dualities of their own emotional and psychological states.
Her style is abstract and graphic, characterized by flat expansive spaces interrupted by monolithic shapes and contours. These interruptions are intentional, designed to disrupt the visual field and evoke a sense of dislocation and reflection. Through this approach, the artist strives to create a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork, encouraging an introspective journey that mirrors the inward exploration central to the practice.
Ultimately, the artist’s work is a meditation on the interplay between the internal and external, the seen and the unseen. By stripping down complex emotions and thoughts to their most essential forms, the artist hopes to offer a space for viewers to reflect and connect with the deeper currents of their own inner lives.
