Charlotte E Padgham Contemporary Art & Jewellery

The coalescence of art and science through materials and processes, as well as thematically, connects all of my work.

Themes of transition, manipulation, ephemerality and 'imperfection' are explored through the analysis and re-appropriation of found objects and organic matter, fused with precious and semi-precious materials. This culminates in art work and unique jewellery collections that harness both control and spontaneity and that have the potential to, or the feeling of, being able to transform and evolve over time.

I use sustainable and ethically sourced, Fairmind, recycled, biodegradable and reclaimed materials in my work and packaging as much as possible.

I strive to maintain a more ethical, environmentally responsible and sustainable practice by making circular economy principles integral to my process. I am constantly seeking out alternative non-toxic and resource efficient processes, and developing ways to reuse and incorporate waste materials produced in making work to create new work. I am also actively pursuing cross-discipline collaborations with other industries to reuse their waste products/materials/resources in my work.

All of my pieces are hallmarked at the London Assay Office.

Due to the processes and materials I use no two items are identical creating truly unique one of a kind pieces.
