About Charlotte E Padgham

Born and lives in South East London. The coalescence of art and science, interaction and change, chance and intent underpins Charlotte E Padgham's work. With an emphasis on experimentation and process themes of transition, manipulation, ephemerality and 'imperfection' are explored using found objects, waste material and organic matter, fused with precious and semi-precious elements. She has a fascination with texture and in the traces and residues we leave behind often using the body as tool and material to explore the transference, intervention and preservation of the self; bodily presence in absence of the body. This culminates in artwork and unique jewellery collections that harness both control and spontaneity and that have the potential to, or the feeling of being able to, transform and evolve over time. By using 'Eco', Fair Trade, recycled, biodegradable and reclaimed materials in her work and packaging as much as possible, Charlotte strives to maintain a responsible and sustainable practice.
