Charlotte Falkingham
Multi-disciplinary artist Charlotte Falkingham has created emotionally raw installations based upon her own personal childhood trauma. By contextualising the pain and the lasting effects of an abusive childhood with an alcoholic and narcissistic parent, she uses her artwork to reflect upon her past life experiences as a therapeutic outlet to start to heal from years of abuse. Charlotte challenges the notion of a “broken home” and how a person is not defined by their trauma but how they heal from it. Charlotte does this by expanding her image past the frame and into the environment around it, consuming the wall entirely. She does this with her expressive brushstrokes and powerful text, using quotes from real conversations she creates a dialogue between her abuser, herself, and outside opinions which are also represented in the multiple eye motifs throughout her work.
