Charlotte Haywood

Charlotte Haywood is an experimental interdisciplinary artist that explores themes and practices from pop to the primordial. She creates works that thread disparate narratives of time, culture and place through the use of materiality and motif. She seeks cultural and linguistic nuances of the body and the landscape to decrypt and unfold multi-narratives.

She looks to untie hierarchies in light of multiplicity; an act of decolonising the self.

Experimentally trading between the tactile and the digital, form and ephemera- she works across:
textiles, sculpture, installation, architecture, film, theatre, landscape, community and ecologies.

Her performative practices and embodied materials can vary from hybrid architectural forms to the ancient technology of tapestry weaving in a symbolic un-weaving and reweaving of interrogated histories and land management practices, gesture as language, synaesthesia, national community interdisciplinary-craft-geometry-science-environment networks and evolving multi-narrational video works that seek parity of knowledge systems.
