Charlotte Janowski is a multidisciplinary artist binding fibers sculpture, painting, installation and performance. She is known for abstract soft sculpture, large painting and bespoke masks with repetitive forms. Objects evoke both archetypes and anthropomorphic figures. Janowski explores personal narratives with symbolic visual language, transforming them into secret mythology. Works speak about obsession and the handmade; and contain visceral forms extruding from assemblage. She explores the intersection between sacred objects and poppet making. Her work is guided by ancestry from Cygany, Ukraine; by Slavic paganism, ritual adornment, and stories of the magic symbolism of thread.
Janowski was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She holds a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She has exhibited nationally including Glitch Gallery, Soma Gallery, Visualize Somerville, TEDX, BusStop Gallery, Red Door Studio, Meow Wolf Denver and The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. Janowski has exhibited and performed internationally at Concordia Sculpture Museum in Enschede, Netherlands.
