Her sculptural practice is rooted in the act of capturing fleeting beautiful moments in nature and for creating bespoke pieces for private collectors and interiors. Charlotte is drawn to the symbolism embedded in the natural world, the ancient languages of signs that cultures have carried for centuries. Her work makes those meanings permanent, casting them in bronze so they can live within a home as something quietly intentional and meaningful. Each piece begins with the real world: branches are life- cast using the lost-wax process, preserving every detail.&nbsp;Other elements are hand-sculpted in clay or wax, then cast and finished in the studio. A theatrical sensibility runs through the work, a deep interest in how light and shadow animate a sculpture into its surrounding space and how this can elevate the space that her pieces occupy.With a background in theatre, film and window displayfabrication, she is no stranger to large scale installationsand project management. Her past clients haveincluded huge set pieces for London theatres such asShakespeare's Globe, window displays for Dior andmasks for Netflix films. Charlotte is a graduate of Central Saint Martins, Fine Art Sculpture.
