About

Charlotte Squire is a visual artist from London now living and practicing in the SW.
Working independently and collaboratively to create and curate projects and exhibitions, her work is informed by materiality and differences of class and culture.

Her installations use mixed media and everyday objects and she has made work to commission for public places, gallery space, liminal location and private collections. 

‘My interest is in how people inhabit social spaces -how we recreate nature in the city environment and try to impose control on the natural world ‘

Using a process of collecting, selecting & reusing mundane objects and materials that have been put to one side or discarded, Squire is particularly interested in the poetry of the ordinary object & its syntax. It is possible to transform the ordinary into something wonderful that belies and transcends its origin. This is a mix-up process of assemblage – the constructed objects becoming, by their inherent pre-use, their own self portrait. Grouping them gives a sense of social placement and internal history that is both self contained and reflexive yet open ended as a social encounter
