Discipline:

Artist, sculptor

Location:

Leeds, UK

ABOUT:

Charlotte Cullen’s practice is a ghost story. Artist and organiser Charlotte Cullen makes things, broadly informed by the material, social, political, cultural and environmental position that steel and its production inhabit. This is questioned through the traces of touch which occur through material; its handling and production. This encompasses sculpture, installation, mark-making, print, text and finding forms of documenting gesture.

Cullen’s practice is shaped by the body and care, explored through the animacy of matter and how these material, physical concerns intersect with social class, migration and gendered identity. The landscape, and issues of land ownership, situates this encounter; muddied, uprooted, re-routed, and as site of familial and historical myth-making.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
