Reenie Charrière
Beginning with chance, and one mark, systems unfold into dream-like environments. I am most interested in how objects accumulate in our everyday spaces. My work is motivated by the drama of landscapes and waterways, urban and rural. I experiment by collecting, and transforming everyday materials, especially throwaways. Through drawing, and sculptural installation my notions play upon the unpredictable juxtaposition of natural and synthetic matter.
