Charlotte Haywood

Drawing is key during the stages of inception for all of Charlotte’s interdisciplinary projects. It is a tool and joy that she has relished forever. Life drawing was her favourite class at tech and enjoyed drawing textiles, botanicals and bodies. She is delighted by the power of the line, the dynamics of a brushstroke. Balance, colour and the inversion of observation, or playing with the senses to enable different ways of seeing and embodying the process of drawing. And not always the outcome. She will create playful still-life assemblages, looking at materiality, coexistence and phenomena. 

Charlotte Haywood lives on Bundjalung Country in Northern NSW. She is an experimental interdisciplinary artist working across the senses. She has cultivated a highly collaborative and process-driven practice that is dedicated to eco aesthetics and the nurturing of biodiversity.
