Charlie Godet Thomas (b.1985, London. British-Bermudian) currently lives and works between Mexico City, MX and London, UK, his work employs a wide range of approaches including writing, painting, sculpture, assemblage, photography, sound and video. His work is concerned with the connections between visual art and literature, the act of writing, the autobiographical, the tragic and the humorous. His work is summoned from unlikely places such as bookbinding processes, street signage, funereal foam letters and the language of pharmaceutical packaging.
