LONDON CRAFT WEEK: MEMORY GARDEN BY CECILIA CHARLTON
Cecilia Charlton is a London based American artist and graduate from the MA Painting programme at the Royal College of Art London in 2018. Working between painting and textile mediums, Charlton creates handmade embroidered and woven works that reference formal histories of abstraction. Each work a bold representation of an artist confident in her use of colour and geometric pattern.
But beyond the visual pleasure and textural beauty of each piece, Charlton uses the medium of textiles as a means to engage personally and intimately, both in context to a specific space and audience.
For London Craft Week Charlton has come together with the Garden Museum in Lambeth. Exhibiting a series of large scale handmade site specific weavings, displayed in the nave of the museum.
