Charlie’s latest piece ‘Everything Must Go’ is a single edition 60x40” print of burned Deluxe Hanhnemuhle Photorag. The image was taken during the burning season in Maranhão, Brazil and abused in Charlie’s studio in the UK.
‘End Times is a project that explores global environmental collapse and how we consume information about it, by reconsidering entrenched narratives and understandings. The images are journalistic in their attempt to present truth rather than agenda and artistic in the way they consider subjects and storytelling - visually, rather than editorially. The project is on going.’
