chapter two
Charlie Russell
London, United Kingdom, 1999
By transforming natural forms into ambiguous shapes, Charlie Russell challenges conventional notions of living environments, offering glimpses into working-class households where the line between order and disorder blurs. Blending domestic comfort with a sense of chaos, she is spurred by her working class upbringing, and absence of her mother in her life.
