Artist Profile

Charlie Smith is a visual artist working across collage and land art, using found materials, walking, and acts of physical transformation to explore cycles of change and interconnectedness. Their practice considers how landscapes, histories, and identities continually shift, carrying traces of what came before. Through projects such as Human Tectonics, Smith repositions natural and cultural materials to reflect on the movement of matter and the connections between places, environments, and human histories. Influenced by Zen philosophy, their collage practice examines the relationship between past, present, and future, creating layered visual spaces that invite viewers to look beyond the immediate and imagine what might emerge next.
