Charlotte Cooper
£0.00
An image flickers and jumps like a damaged film reel. A moment repeats, stuttering and archaic.
Its form is the acid swirling in a stomach cavity, The altered state of the world around when nothing has materially changed. It is trapped forever on a screen partially viewed in the periphery
but when I turn to face it directly it’s just static noise. It holds me just out of reach but torturously close. This border place is a passage. It reaches back generations and waits for those who are yet to touch the earth. The imprint of the image fades and the residue it has left can be wiped away. It sinks back through silt layers that close over it, resting beneath. Neither retrievable nor disposable, until next time.'
The near inaccessibility of knowing and recounting our earliest memories is central to Charlotte’s thoughts surrounding her practice. She reflects on where the remnants of our early selves might collect, too ill defined to be experienced again, but there as a faltering echo in an internal universe. She considers whether art’s affective dimension could speak of this ancient part of ourselves, seemingly forgotten but forever holding sway.
Charlotte Cooper is a UK based artist who graduated, this year, with an MA in Print from The Royal College of Art.
