CHARLOTTE
McGOWAN-GRIFFIN
ABOUT
Charlotte McGowan-Griffin's work takes on a variety of forms and media. From large-scale walk-in installations to more intimate graphic works, she uses a combination of techniques to explore space, presence and form - both "cutting out" and "cutting in" (for her sculptural works), print techniques such as embossing and watermarking, found object, film, sound and performance. Paper has been at the heart of her practice not only as medium but also as subject - her works have explored the novel (The Whiteness of the Whale), the encyclopaedia (From Sarsaparilla to Sorcery) the account book (Kami no Machi) and the birth of information (The Origin of the World).
