Artist Statement

Charlotte Spafford’s mixed-media works evoke a collection of precious things, embodying whimsy, lightness, and the spirit of assembly. Using her unique visual language, Charlotte creates and organizes art objects-inviting the viewer to interact with and participate in her collection.

Using forms derived both from her imagination and the abstraction of real objects, Charlotte approaches her work with a sense of curiosity. Her work is deeply rooted in making, and aims to fully embrace a diverse range of media to its fullest extent.
