Charlotte Buckley

Charlotte Buckley’s work explores the tension between control and chaos, asking us to confront the boundaries we create to make sense of the world and ourselves. By bringing together objects and textures we wouldn’t expect to find in the same space, she creates new visual meanings that blur the lines between what we show and what we hide, what feels familiar and what feels strange.

Her message is rooted in a critique of the ways we impose rigid structures on ourselves—both in how we categorise the world and in how we define our own value through completeness or functionality. By creating surreal, hybrid realities that feel simultaneously unsettling and liberating, Buckley questions these systems and suggests an alternative: a celebration of ambiguity, imperfection, and the spaces where categories collapse.

Through her work, she invites us to reflect on our inner voices and our compulsion to control outcomes, asking whether we might find more freedom in embracing fluidity and process over rigid expectations. Her art becomes a visual representation of unfiltered humanness, where meaning is found not in answers but in exploring the nuances of existence
