CHARLOTTE GREENWOOD
Cliché-Verres in Colour

Confined to her home during the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic, Charlotte was motivated to pursue a form of photography outside the traditional photographic darkroom. Her technique is based on cliché-verre, which combines photography with painting or drawing on transparent surfaces, such as glass, to create negatives. Each piece documents her investigation into fluid dynamics and how traditional art supplies interact and chemically react with household substances.

Charlotte Greenwood is an experimental fine artist based in North Yorkshire, England, working with both analogue and digital mediums, predominantly within the realm of cameraless photography.

Originally from Lancashire, she moved to London in 2017 to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration and Visual Media at the University of the Arts London, from which she graduated with First-Class Honours in 2021.

Charlotte uses her great affinity for the natural world as the main motivator for her work, further informed by her research into biophilic design. Particularly in the context of the current climate crisis, her work aims to encourage nature connectedness and appreciation, pro-environmental behaviour, and heightened observation of the everyday excellence in our seemingly mundane surroundings.

Charlotte has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including a notable exhibition at the Royal Photographic Society in Bristol.
