Armour

Charmaine Pike

Armour, 2024 mixed media on paper 75 x 105 cm

The work 'Armour' is a landscape of symbols and gestures. It addresses post-apocalyptic themes through the use of bones, rock formations and burnt trees and colour palette. I was thinking immensely of our environmental planetary damage when making the work... and requiring a kind of 'Armour' to endure the worry.
