Charmagne Coble
My inspiration often begins with researching into philosophy, poetry and literature.
I entwine this into my art practice to create a harmonious balance between writing and art. I continue to deeply explore the complex relationship between absence and presence and how difficult it is to separate the two. I use my own body as the subject to express my own personal experiences of loss and grief by leaving traces of the human body through powders and chemicals on my skin.
I also combine this field with found objects that are then transformed through a process of digital manipulation. Through this and a process of photography and printmaking. I analyse and question what traces have been left absent through the human body and what is still quite clearly present.
Through a process of experimentation and philosophical research, I create traces of the human body through powders and chemicals to create ghostly images of decay.
In my most current practice, I have been researching what life is like after one has experienced trauma and the reality of ‘living with ghosts’. I am interweaving the emphasis of grief with how to recover from traumatic memories through writing and drawing.
My work focuses on breaking down materials and the energy it takes to fix them together again.
