Zoë Charlton
Zoë Charlton creates figure drawings, collages, installations, and animations that depict her subject’s relationship to culturally loaded objects and landscapes. Their relationship with the world is signified by the colorful adornments they wear and the objects they embrace—among them domestic props, suburban housing, and sports gear. Whether collaged into a defined context or left to pose awkwardly against a blank backdrop, these characters embody ripe cultural dilemmas. The work evaluates prejudice based on appearances by literally undressing it; the particulars of cultural histories are writ large in these naked bodies.
