CHARLOTTE WORTHINGTON

Charlotte lives in London and has recently graduated from the RCA where she studied Painting after a career in Television and Animation.
She creates domestic dreamscape paintings, soft sculptures and panels on silk, canvas and metal.
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 folkloric aesthetic. She explores the breakdown of this space and its figures: broken landscapes, the failing female body, bursting growths, wounds, and wrinkled skin.
She invites the viewer to unravel the fragmented, often familiar layered stories of the domestic space within the stitched , and ruptured surfaces.​​​
