Charlotte Worthington is a London based artist who recently graduated from the Royal College of Art (MA Painting, 2024). Before returning to painting, she worked for several years in the TV industry as an animator and a documentary producer and director. 

 

Her work explores the emotional and psychological spaces of the domestic and the familiar. Through painting, textiles, collage, stuffing and stitching, she pieces together fragmented narratives drawn from personal memory and recurring experiences. She works intuitively, connecting images to create hangings, soft sculptures and wall-based work. 

​

A place often associated with nurturing and care, ‘home’ is turned into uneasy spaces of contradiction, suburban claustrophobia and isolation.  Narratives, memories and experiences of power, control and manipulation come to define the characters who inhabit it. Looking beyond the surface of painting she incorporates cutting, stuffing and stitching to create distorted hangings with a dark fairytale aesthetic. She explores the breakdown of this space and its figures: broken landscapes, the failing female body, bursting growths, wounds, and wrinkled skin.
