Charmaineโs work emerges spontaneously through automatic and subconscious processes, exploring bodily poetics across painting, sculpture, sound installation, photography, performance and film. Grounded in abstract expressionism, her practice is characterised by energetic, gestural mark-making that generates tactile, multi-dimensional surfaces, channeling ephemeral states of being and internal landscapes. Found objects are intuitively incorporated to create juxtapositions between everyday materials and underlying emotional currents. Charmaineโs work harmonises beauty and intensity, inviting viewers into a visceral dialogue between materiality and inner experience. Her compositions merge the mundane with the deeply felt, creating sensory immediacy through subtle yet powerful visual dialogues. It is releasing, cathartic and anarchic.
