Charli Clark

Charli Clark is an environmental artist (MA in Environmental Art, Aalto University, Helsinki 2015) and trained gardener (2016). She works with a variety of media including paint, wood, clay, film, performance, sound, socially engaged/ community and planted installation, seeking to form relationships and reconnect with more-than-human species.

A strong sense of stewardship and environmental ethos underpins both her artwork and her gardening. She often works collaboratively to explore the interconnectivity between humans and non-humans to increase awe and understanding of the natural world. Her most recent public works (Field Stories, Broad Meadow, (de)Bordering) saw her combine her knowledge of the natural world with her artistic training to produce large scale high quality artistic work with, and for, humans and non-humans alike. Broad Meadow, a wildflower installation and audio experience, created in collaboration with artist Sylvia Rimat, has returned to Broadmead, Bristol UK for 3 years.

Born and based in Bristol, she has produced work for venues across the UK and internationally, including Arnolifini, Bowes Museum, Harp Art Lab (Sweden), and MUU Gallery (Finland), and been involved in exhibitions, workshops and residences across Europe. She is a member of the Bioart Society and has been Associate Artist with Melliferopolis – Bees in Urban Environments, MUU Gallery and KWMC.
